Review of The Promise

The Promise (2020– )
7/10
Inconsistent, but good.
25 February 2022
A good production and better than we seem to be able to produce in the UK these days.

I like the way the viewer was left to work things out before it became obvious towards the end of the first episode.

The structure continued well up until half way through the 6 episodes, then it lost its way.

The prime suspect suddenly was found guilty of another crime, although it was hardly mentioned, and disappeared from the story.

A lot of questions were not answered, or asked come to that (Lilas's criminal history as an adult for instance).

In the end the solution was all rather muddled, implausible and disappointing.
