EiDonnaB If you loved Broadchurce you'll most likely going to love this. It has 3 seasons and I'm only mid first so I don't know if it gets better or worse.

evsstens I loved all the seasons that I have seen, and at the moment, I am watching season 5. Maybe it is because I am a Scandinavian, from Norway, to be more spesific, that I recognize the «noir» factor, but even my friends -at least some of them- find HINTERLAND far too troublesome. It is always raining, Mathias as well as most of his crew look troubled beyond imagination, the nature is austere, bleak, sad and lost. Sure, it is nice to see more of Wales, but Wales cannot only be about this? To me, all I can see from watching HINTERLAND, is that Wales must be a beautiful place, and it does not leave me sad, absolutely not. The story have also captured me. But I find it very disturbing that you have not updated your info about seasons after the third one-get your act together, IMDb!

blake-36398 After painfully watching the first series (four episodes) we decided to put this on our "not to watch or continue to watch again" list. It just is not worth the time or trouble. We are sick of seeing these detectives with their unshaven faces and messy hair. They look like they sleep in their clothes and don't both cleaning up before they go to work. Don't they have standards to meet about looking professional. I liken it to unmade beds. None of the main characters are interesting. Mathias (Richard Harrington) has a perpetual frozen frown and wrinkled brow. His assistant Marad Rhys (Mali Harris) just seems to walk through the stories. The story lines are dragged out with closeup shots of unhappy faces that contribute nothing to the story and just drag out the episodes. They tend to hold the shot until you begin to get bored out of your skull. The last episode was particularly disgusting. Just meaningless scenes that went nowhere. The one scene where Mathias was having sex with the mother of the dead girl was stupid. At one point Mathias had his mouth open and he looked like a baby bird waiting for a worm. That was laughable. At least their having sex was not as graphic as we have seen in other things we have watched. No real understanding of who the murdered girl was, except that maybe she was a bit of a tramp. No feeling sad that she was murdered. Toward the end of the story, I joked that the character Dyfan Richard was the girl's father and wouldn't you know it, that is the way it turned out. I really believe they throw these twists and turns into the story as they go along. I think that the only way you can enjoy the series is to have the producers recommend the kind of drugs or booze you should ingest to make the show palatable. I have read several other reviews and they talk about the beautiful cinematography. So many of those shots, just to stretch out the story. Most of the scenery looked pretty bleak to me, like the story and characters. Really did not even deserve the one star I had to give.

chickinabimmer Excellent. Intriguing. Haunting. Beautiful and bleak. Strong characters and performances. So different than the shoot 'em up, soft core ridiculousness of US cop shows. Perfect to binge. I'm having a tough time turning it off. I want to see what happens next and why. Interesting that they shoot in Welsh and English, takes a moment to get attuned to the accents and cadence. Check it out! It really is good. PS if you like this, take a peek at "Shetland". … another BBCgem.
