We finished watching Down Cemetery Road [Apple TV] the other night. It's a gritty thriller written by Nick Herron - of Slow Horses fame - and features a similar vibe. Two women, played by Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson, seek to find a young girl who has been abducted. They find themselves in a web of government deceit and conspiracy led by an acerbic mandarin of Whitehall and his ruthless, violent lackeys. Grim at times, but also with a bit of strong comedic streaks. The two female leads are outstanding, especially Emma Thompson, and it is worth watching for her alone. She is staggeringly good. And the series features some excellent alternative music (The theme song is ‘Woman’s Touch’ by Michelle Gurevich.) Highly recommended - four stars.
