6-part series which airs Mondays and Tuesdays on BBC1 for the next three weeks

 

The synopsis says: "Inspired in part by real events, set in a Nottinghamshire mining village at the heart of Sherwood lie two shocking and unexpected killings that shatter an already fractured community and spark a massive manhunt.

 

"As suspicion and antipathy build - both between lifelong neighbours and towards the police forces who descend on the town - the tragic killings threaten to inflame historic divisions sparked during the miners' strike three decades before.

 

"Sherwood is at once a compelling, contemporary crime drama that explores for the first time the controversial deployment of so-called ‘spycops’ around Britain, and a distinctly human story of a community forced to re-examine the terrible events of decades ago, for which it still bears the scars."

 

Anyone catched this at all?

 

Saw the first episode and it was all right, although a lot of characters to get used to.

Another fantastic episode and more recognisable faces popping up.

Sherwood has been confirmed to get another series.

Watched the first ep. Was fairly boring. Lots of long shots of people looking thoughtful or sad.

 

Left with little clue how most of the characters are related to the plot. Feels like a soap opera at the moment, that has a murder in it.

 

Will try the second ep, for the cast alone.

Just got to the end of the second episode. Sh*t just got real.

 

Shows glimmers of potential. But it's still very slowly paced.

Anyone watch the new series?
