"A homecoming mystery steeped in old wounds"
A detective returns to the North Devon coastal town he fled years earlier, forced to confront the strict religious community that once rejected him for being gay while investigating a local murder. The show is quiet and moody rather than twisty, leaning on coastal scenery, small-town secrets, and the detective's uneasy homecoming more than shocking reveals. Pacing is deliberate, almost novelistic, giving space to grief, faith, and family wounds alongside the case. It feels closer to a character study wrapped in a mystery than a fast-moving procedural.
the slow-burn atmosphere and a lead detective whose past is as compelling as the case.
you want a fast-paced whodunit rather than a moody, character-driven drama.
