Chasing Shadows (I) (2014)
8/10
A great new crime drama from ITV

Warning: Spoilers
I'm a huge fan of crime dramas in general so I was always going to give this one a go, even more so when I realised Reece Shearsmith was the lead character (I've enjoyed his other TV work this year, The Widower & Inside No.9).

This drama series focuses on the Missing Person's Unit and is spread across 4 episodes with a different story/case having 2 episodes each. I enjoyed all the episodes equally and really liked how the characters developed together, they all had a good on screen chemistry and it worked really well. The cases were very intriguing and it was very enjoyable to see it from a different perspective, rather than just from the standard police point of view.

All of the characters were portrayed really well and as each episode ended I found myself looking forward to next weeks one. It's a very good little series which I hope will be back for more. The series ended on a massive cliffhanger which has the potential to be a great storyline so I hope this means it will be back. Overall it's a very good series that has potential to be great. Everything is in place to continue this on to the next level.

8/10 so far but I will definitely keep an eye out for further episodes. Highly recommend
