Holding

You won’t find any glamourous people in this series. Instead, you get a sense of a small community that has been worn down because of each other’s actions. The local constable might be incompetent which others rely on, but he does recognise what’s best for the community and when a job needs to be completed right. There’s a bit of confusion over the plot as it’s not clear whether it actually occurred and who the love child was. It’s always complicated in small communities with same-sex relationships as everyone assumes otherwise and it’s hard to keep up who’s with who, especially with the jumper act at the talent show. The actors work hard to keep their characters in check, but there needs to be more conflict to make this interesting. I think it needed a bit more humour to keep people interested and a bit more clarification in its conclusions.
