A fairly promising start makes way for a ludicrous penultimate episode followed by a finale with more holes in the plot than could be reasonably expected from a drama about detectorists.
At best, it's daytime tv fodder but with lots of swearing added to make it seem like it's a show for grown ups.
Was it supposed to be a comedy?
The actors, at least the most recognisable ones, all should know better but seemingly don't care; take the money & run?
One actor in particular should be ashamed of wasting his talent & performing to type as requested by the producers whims. If he's reading this, he'll know what I'm referring to (three languages & all you did was squeak!).
Even the music, apparently from Alabama 3, alternates between sounding like Last of the Summer Wine & a cheap horror movie with an obtrusive harmonica score one moment & a creepy organ the next.
Truly dreadful & a complete waste of time.
