Mayday Series 1 2013 Written by Ben Court and Caroline Ip, directed by Brian Welsh.
I watched all of Mayday and it was a lot like Broadchurch. Way more drama than policing, way too many pregnant pauses, way too much staring off into the distance. It could have been a 90 min movie instead of five 45 min episodes. It’s way too slow for me, so I speed it up a bit after the first episode. There’s only a hint of magic but there is retribution from the grave. Too many red herrings and too many oddball characters. I got a good laugh in the 3rd episode but have forgotten what the joke was already. I don’t begrudge watching it, I never know if I’m going to find that gem of a show I’m always hoping for. I’m not going to keep it.
