Somewhat "hashed" - in spite of good leading actors and true event roots
5 November 2020
Seemingly, everything should be in place - the script based on true characters and events, leading roles performed by good character actors (Douglas Henshall and Martin Compston), apparently realistic observance of the era, 3 episodes only... But something was not there - and I am unable to express what exactly; or perhaps I am spoilt by so many good UK series, including with the presence of the actors mentioned. Usually I tend to eagerly wait for the following episode, but not with this series. Partially because the solution was known anyway.

Still, In Plain Sight is above average and if interested in realistic crime with historical touch, then your time is not wasted.
