Vuonna 2011 englantilaisen pikkukaupungin rauha rikkoutuu järkyttävään ampumistapaukseen: mies ampuu äitinsä ja yli kymmenen muuta ihmistä. Tapahtumista raportoi valtakunnan uutisiin kaupungin oma poika, suosittu uutisankkuri David Whitehead. Hän palaa kotiin etsimään vastauksia kysymyksiin. Olisiko katastrofi ollut estettävissä? Mikä sen perimmäinen syy oli? Voisiko sama toistua? (YLE)

I can't shake the feeling that it would have been better suited to the form of a two-hour film rather than a three-hour miniseries divided into four episodes, but it's still highly topical and, in its "it could happen in your neighborhood" realism, disturbingly chilling.

The first two parts, which, like "Durkin" unpredictably pass between two states of consciousness (before / after the catastrophe), they are a completely phenomenal example of how the poetics of psychological art film can be combined with the attractive structure of series storytelling. Although the second half of the series is visually and impressive in terms of acting, sometimes it has a hard time withstanding the intentional short-circuiting and neurotic nature of the actions of the characters. It is saved a fair but by Durkin's way of defending clarity, but I can't shake the feeling that it was either supposed to be a radical feature film, or a longer series that would elaborate on the characters and their relationships. Despite the slight mess of the last episode and the bitterness that the captivating energy of the first hour and a half eventually vanishes into the swampy fog, I rate this distinctive interpretation of Quality TV highly.
