The Shadow Line - astonishingly brilliant...

Just finished the last episode of "The Shadow Line" (2011) (TV series) - quite astonishingly brilliant.

More like a proper play than TV drama, one of the absolute best things I've seen in years and the scene in Ireland with Gatehouse (Stephen Rea) and Crace was sublime and worth a programme of its own.

So many of the cast were astonishing it's unfair to single them out, and the writing and direction (Hugo Blick) was superb, not afraid of dramatic pauses.
