Intriguing, but very hard to follow.

DI Riya Ajunwa begins putting the pieces together, when a disturbing series of events happens in her small town, a young girl goes missing, a stag is found disemboweled, and a group of protesters gather at a fracking site.

I watched an interview with Andrea Buchan, and was intrigued by his description, I can see what he meant, very much Fargo, Fortitude, Stranger things, Twin Peaks, that sort of quirky, surreal vibe, we even get a Twin Peaks reference.

Not one to watch if you're tired or ina bad mood, this would absolutely send you off your rocker. Almost unfathomable, you don't know if you're watching a thriller, a sci fi or something else. Hopefully it will straighten out in the next episode.

It's always interesting to see someone who's well known for being on the other side of the camera, jump behind the scenes, Andrew Buchan is a cracking actor, one clearly with a vivid imagination.

Quality casting, David Threlfall and the fabulous Wunmi Mosaku, there aren't many better, hopefully it will improve.

5/10.

Episode 1

Actor Andrew Buchan makes his debut as a screenwriter for Passenger. I know it wants to be like Twin Peaks or Fargo as it references Twin Peaks.

There are shots of Lancashire woodlands in the snow. A disemboweled stag. Some people protesting about a fracking site. Then some people talking loudly in northern accents like they are audition for Emmerdale or Coronation Street.

I tell you what it is not. Twin Peaks which was one of the best American shows made in the last 50 years.

Twin Peaks started with a dead body and went from there with its quirky characters and plot. Unfortunately this was a rambling first episode as it tries to set up what kind of show it is meant to be.

Here there is a missing girl, her father is soon to be released from prison. She suddenly turns up apparently safe and sound.
