Summary

Crime drama, starring Ashley Jensen and Alison O'Donnell

Review

David Brown

This being the 10th series of Shetland, you’d hardly expect it to be breaking new ground. And yet, what’s this? Sergeant Billy McCabe (Lewis Howden), who ordinarily resembles a desk-bound Captain Birdseye, is out of the office and attending a scene of crime.

Because, as it turns out, the isolated hamlet of Lunniswick, where an elderly woman has been found done in, is Billy’s patch. So it appears as though, this time around, he may end up looking as wind-tousled as investigating officers Ruth (Ashley Jensen) and Tosh (Alison O’Donnell).

OK, so it’s not the most seismic of changes, but then it isn’t really in the make-up of this show to seek attention with overly tricksy storytelling or lurid imagery. Instead, each year, it quietly goes about its business, delivering slow-burn mysteries where the suspects harbour long-standing secrets, which they keep close to their rough-hewn hearts. No doubt the ratings will be strong and the press attention minimal, but that kind of suits Shetland’s unassuming nature and secret inner confidence.
