Chasing Shadows (I) (2014)
Should Have Become A Series!...
23 June 2021
CHASING SHADOWS is a four part mini-series that should have become a regular series!

Both Alex Kingston and Reece Shearsmith are superb in their roles, with Ms. Kingston playing the Missing Persons Bureau's warm, approachable Ruth Hattersley to Shearsmith's socially inept, psychologically detached, yet brilliant DS Sean Stone.

As the story progresses, we learn more about these two, making them all the more intriguing and watchable. The supporting characters are equally well-drawn. As with other, superior British cop shows, each episode plays like a theatrical release.

Since this was apparently meant as a pilot for a series, the whole thing ends with a cliffhanger, begging for a resolution! Dammit! This is maddening!

Thankfully, it's highly rewatchable, but still quite frustrating!...
