A very well written and acted murder mystery set in the stunning landscapes of north-west Eire. Dialogue is in Irish Gaelic with subtitles, which gives it a certain authenticity and makes it seem even more physically remote. I tried out the first episode, and quickly got hooked and two days later had finished the series. It's a really good choice for a binge watch. The similarities to Shetland are fairly obvious - both are set in remote communities where everyone has a past and that past is known to everyone else, but beneath the surface there are secrets too, waiting to be revealed. This series avoided the obvious and kept me guessing until the final scenes. Congratulations to the BBC for being brave enough to screen this. Thoroughly recommended.
