Single Handed Set 1

It’s almost lke you get two movies for the price of one with each episode of this crime drama. The first movie is a travelogue showing the raw natural beauty of the windswept west of Ireland. The second movie is an almost Gothic police drama that peels back the tightly knit layers of the people who live in that rugged landscape to reveal the ugliness inside. Owen McDonnell is great as the Garda Sargent who movies back home after his big city career implodes, and the supporting cast matches him every step of the way. It’s a fascinating, chilling series.
