I created an account just to write a review for this show. The acting is laughably bad at times, especially from the lead actress, and it would make the series hard to watch even if the plot was great, which it's not.

There are many other decent British cop shows to watch, like The Missing, Happy Valley, Unforgotten, etc.. Don't waste your time on this one.… Expand

Another worthy British whodunit that's well worth a watch. Much like "Line of Duty", Vigil grabs your attention from the get go and never lets go. Can not understand one user's too "woke" criticism, it makes absolutely no sense. They,Another worthy British whodunit that's well worth a watch. Much like "Line of Duty", Vigil grabs your attention from the get go and never lets go. Can not understand one user's too "woke" criticism, it makes absolutely no sense. They, apparently weren't very "woke" while watching. Some friendly advice - pay attention next time. Only half way thru, so there's still a chance of a let down, but it certainly feels like it will worthy of the "9" rating right until the end.… Expand

"Vigil" (S01, 6 eps, 1-hr, BBC) is a taut murder mystery thriller that largely takes place upon a nuclear-weaponed UK submarine. It's got good pacing, tense moments, and is well-acted, it's a good production. In fact, the closing scene of"Vigil" (S01, 6 eps, 1-hr, BBC) is a taut murder mystery thriller that largely takes place upon a nuclear-weaponed UK submarine. It's got good pacing, tense moments, and is well-acted, it's a good production. In fact, the closing scene of episode 5 is bonkers. Just about everything you could fear to go wrong on a submarine, does. There's murder, spying, illicit relationships, betrayals, lying, conniving, subterfuge, subversion, and a single-mom, same-sex relationship because even the BBC must show it's socially progressive, because what, there's money in it?! Anyway, besides that and a few "really?!" moments, it's a good show that only goes on for six eps, so it's over before you know it. If there's a second season, it will have to be a different adventure because this story has its conclusion.… Expand
