I enjoyed this serial-killer drama series. Like many reviewers here, I agree that the backdrop of Loch Ness and the spectacular Scottish Highlands added much intrigue and mystery to a decently written, if clichéd, crime drama series. The acting was reasonable but this too was clichéd in parts. The direction was perhaps trying to be too clever by highlighting so many potential suspects, but certainly the final episode was the standout and I am sure the killer was a surprise to many viewers.
That Jordan ( who pretended to be Kieran, by switching names with his brother ) turned out to be the killer, was certainly a surprise, but there were clues along the way, which many may have missed.
It also proves that serial killers are not born but made from extreme trauma that has to satisfy certain and very hidden genetic triggers that need to be amplified in very extreme circumstances. Hence, why thankfully they are so extremely rare.
However, very sadly, trauma is much more common than most are even aware of, and this manifests in a catalogue of mental and emotional disorders from anxiety and depression through various personality disorders to sociopathy, sadism, extreme egomania and narcissistic disorder ( which is on the increase. ).
This was an entertaining drama series, not without it's faults, but sometimes we can all be too critical for our own good.
