Even by ITV drama standards this is needlessly tedious and how they managed to drag it out over 4 episodes I will never know. In summary not much happens, the 'twist' is predictable and there are no impactful messages to take away from it. We don't really get to know any of the characters properly and the majority of the programme just seems to focus on Vicky Mclure in a dodgy wig driving around looking gloomy. Shame. There are a few avenues I feel they could have elaborated on or gone down to add intrigue but alas no. What you see is what you get and I wouldn't recommend investing your time in this.

Follows the ITV template of cliched script, annoying background music and a plot with more holes than my granddad's vest - not to mention some very poor editing! Which continuity genius oversaw Vicky McClure driving in the dark of night only to turn up at her destination in broad daylight?! Throw in some insane red herrings, wooden acting and several pained facial expressions and you've got yourself a colour-by-numbers ITV drama. Do yourself a favour and go for a walk, read a book or phone an old friend instead of wasting 4 hours of your life watching this tripe. PS why are other people's computers/laptops in telly-land SO easy to log in to? Maybe the universal password is PoEt1cl1cEN5e or Tak1NgtHEP155 ??

Down beat, profanity filled, depressing drama (aren't they all, these days). Nothing new here, although the final episode was quite cleverly choreographed to have suspicions going one way, then another, and then back again. I hope this was not an accurate portrayal of the police force, the prison service et al. It would seem that people can get away with just about anything without any fear of being challenged. The event in the prison chapel, for example; no explanation as to what happened to McKeller at the end of episode 3. The event in the cell also was less than convincing. The cell mate acted out of character. There was a lot of mumbling and inaudible dialogue. This seems to be a new fashion. I didn't find the story very credible, particularly the way a female taxi driver was able to walk into some very dodgy places unchallenged.

Three years on from the murder of her daughter Maisy, Stella Tomlinson receives a visitor request from her miller Charles Stone. The meeting is intended to help Stella grieve, but Stone makes a shocking admission. Worth noting that this series was co produced by it's lead stars, Vicky McClure and Johnny Harris, neither disappoint, both in terms of acting and input. Without Sin is a great series, without a doubt this is one of the best crime dramas for some time, let's be honest there's nothing particularly new or original, but what is done, is done very, very well. It is very well paced, gritty and often uncomfortable viewing, Stella's search for the truth is enthralling, you will spend the whole time wondering if Charles is lying or not, did he really do it, is he playing her along, you're made to wait. Terrific acting, not just McClure and Harris, but Dorothy Atkinson, Callum Fuller and Con O'Neill. The only character I wasn't keen on, was that wig. Well worth your time. 9/10.
