Title: Writers didn't trust their material
Review: Okay, I admit I watched the entire first and second series in just two days while at the shore in foggy, Scottish Highlands-inspired weather. I was hooked! The one thing that disappointed me, though, was the extreme to which the show's writers went in order to concoct their plots. It was as if they didn't trust that viewers can be hooked by the small dramas of life. In particular, they go over the top with psychic phenomena, religious fervor and grisly deaths. If it weren't for the endearing characters, I would have given up on the series. But I see that there might be a third series coming out... you can be sure I'll be watching!
