Screenwriter Rachel Bennette’s script is pacy without being confusing and doesn’t noticeably attempt to crowbar in any contemporary concerns (although the makers claim David and Victoria Beckham provided an inspiration for the public’s fascination with a sportsman’s marriage). Towards Zero is a creamily deluxe entry into the crowded murderer mystery field.

Series creator Rachel Bennette keeps it pithy, but it really comes to life whenever Rhys appears on the scene; his character is far more interesting than any other and reminds us of what a tragedy it was that “Perry Mason” received the ax from HBO.

Clocking in at just three episodes (all of which were available for review), Toward Zero’s brisk pace keeps things moving at a satisfying clip, with betrayals, twists, and deaths around what feels like every corner.
-
The miniseries is familiarly digestible, but it also feels a little stale — until Rhys shuffles into Gull’s Point, his body slumped under a trench coat, his mood insolent, his performance a jolt of energy.
