We watched episode 1 of this last night on telly, via iPlayer. iPlayer are now uploading entire series (they did the same with New Blood) on iPlayer prior to release on TV, to provide "box set" type of viewing for those who want it.

It will start on BBC1 on Tuesday.

Anyhow - it is good. It's the young actor who played the main role in Merlin - he's a psychologist who returns to the family farm with his new bride and encounters all sorts. It's a Victorian spook story.

I'm really enjoying it and love the music especially the signature piece.

It is an ongoing story with different mysteries each week. I absolutely loved the ending!!! They should've brought that bit in earlier as 1st few episodes are a bit slow.

I thought the ending was good.

DH was more in the 'Eh?' camp.

I did keep shouting, 'Stop leaving that baby alone in that horrible house' most of the time though.

Sorry, I thought it was total rubbish. Watched all episodes because I just wanted to see how it all ended, and was absolutely so disappointed by it all. I hated the fact that so much was filmed in the dark to create atmosphere, and I thought the acting was rigid.
You may have guessed, I didn't really enjoy it at all, but each to his own, and I am pleased some found it good t.v.

A part of me sadly acknowledges the fact that it may have been total rubbish.

Still heart Colin Morgan though.

I didn't understand the ending, so looked it up and then I thought it was quite a clever twist. Hope there's another series.

Interesting twist at the end. I liked the way it all started in the early Victorian times and then was brought into what appeared to be 20th century, going on the look of the car.

The closing scene looked as if it was an Edwardian seance. I think it was leading towards another series.
