Thriller
Crime/detective

Summary

When a family under witness protection are murdered, DI Nyles Liz investigates.

Episode 5: In Too Deep

Summary

The key witness in the case has disappeared, either of her own volition or because she's been abducted. Liz still doesn't dare to trust her colleagues and decides to take matters into her own hands - with surprising consequences as she makes an alarming discovery that brings her closer to the gangster Crowther

Review

David Brown

Despite Siobhan Finneran acting suitably harassed and Katherine Kelly looking as if she’s prepped for her role by biting into lemons, the showdowns between DCIs Nyles and Wheatley lack crackle. They ought to be big bullseye scenes, but the stakes have gone missing in the script.

Perhaps it’s because the line-up of possible moles within the team feels colourless? Certainly, we don’t get a sense of their characters aside from names and rank. Unfortunately, with the finale arriving tomorrow, it feels like Protection hasn’t left an enticing enough trail of breadcrumbs.
