    I googled reviews of this show to see if others had the same thoughts I did and I am vindicated. Lush scenery, but too many side stories that don't seem critical to the plot. I.e. the kid in a supposed coma whose mom keeps sedating him? What is it with Siobhan Finneran - will she only accept roles as a detective? This is the third show she has starred as one.

    Very poorly cast. Actors not believable in their roles and very lame story. Quite disappointing.

    Better at atmospherics than plot specifics, Loch Ness is prone to red herrings and subplots tend to muddy the waters, delaying a melodramatic denouement that is only slightly more credible than the existence of a prehistoric sea beast. [26 Jun - 9 Jul 2017, p.13]

    The peel-the-onion format here is familiar by now, but Stephen Brady’s script and a group of fine performances keep it intriguing, nonetheless. A fine diversion for summer evenings.

    In truth, the mystery is somewhat overplotted and there are scattered moments when we wouldn’t fully believe certain character decisions, but we’re already too hooked on wanting to know who is responsible for the deaths of a music teacher, a socially awkward high school kid, and two of his classmates, not to mention a man anchored to the floor of the loch with a curling stone.
