The Rising was a really great surprise for me. I was expecting mediocre UK drama, but got something completely unique and really intriguing.
I love that this show is set in a small village in the middle of nowhere, and shows the unusual countryside culture of northern England. It almost feels like a Steven King story, but in Britain. The countryside and the forest are enchanting and spooky.
One of the best things is that you really have no idea who the murderer is at all throughout the whole series. The plot definitely keeps you engaged and guessing. It's a subtle psychological mystery horror.
But also it's a story about love and loss and the power of love to transcend death. It's a really moving show about characters who are both believable and likeable.
Over all it's a really well told modern ghost story. I hope they make a second series with a similar premise but new characters. I highly recommend The Rising - Check it out!
