We’re a quarter of the way through the new BBC Three supernatural drama offering, and I’m still no closer to working out how on earth this makes up for cancelling In the Flesh. What looks like a great premise on paper is being dragged out a little too much for my liking, a bit more pace and a lot less exposition would hold my attention and have me more invested in the characters I feel. The next episode does see the main characters relocating to the mainland, giving us a chance to see more action and a change of dynamics however.
Budgie has problems of his own meanwhile, in the shape of some black pearls that he half inched from Dries house when the lads were there to get the Tavi last week. The ambiguous bar owner continues to be my favourite character in the series, making this yet another show where I seem to be rooting for the villains of the piece this season. He’s not quite as complex Rochefort or George Warleggan, but he’s certainly a man of many faces as Budgie is about to find out!
Episode 3 airs on Sunday 26th April at 10pm on BBC Three and Saturday May 2nd on BBC America at 10pm.
