Down Cemetery Road plot

In a quiet suburb of Oxford, a house explodes, and shortly afterward, a girl disappears. Neighbor Sarah Tucker becomes obsessed with finding the girl and enlists the help of private investigator Zoë Boehm. The pair suddenly find themselves embroiled in a complex conspiracy that reveals that people long presumed dead are still among the living, while the living are rapidly joining the dead.

Down Cemetery Road season 1

Slow Horses is based on detective novels by Mick Herron. The same team has now tackled a series of books Herron wrote before focusing on Slough House, about private investigator Zoë Boehm. Honestly, you can tell it's a precursor to Slow Horses in every way: all the ingredients are there, from the sarcastic humor, the less-than-stellar main characters, the cynical view of the British government, to the above-average interest in computer technology, but all a bit cruder, a bit less polished. The humor, in particular, is a bit more laugh-or-I'll-shoot, which I'm not a fan of. But thankfully, there are also plenty of biting one-liners. I was reminded a bit of Luther, but that's also because Ruth Wilson, who played a major role in that series, is also in this one. I think tonally, Down Cemetery Road falls somewhere between Slow Horses and Luther (which was almost Batman in the later seasons).

Good actors thrive in the UK, of course, and just like with Slow Horses, the team has once again secured an absolute star: Emma Thompson plays Zoë Boehm and she's absolutely raring to go. I also had the feeling the whole time I'd seen the actor who played Downey before, and that turns out to be true: it was in Femme. In that film, he played a drag queen out to take revenge on a gay man who turns out to be a closeted gay man himself; here, he's a sick war veteran. That's quite a feat.

Down Cemetery Road season 1

This is a truly terrible series; I honestly don't know how they get so many points on IMBD. I went to check it out again to see if it wasn't a comedy series, I found it so ridiculous.
All people who appear in the series on BBC First, and honestly, that was also the level.
And by the way, Thomson was not brilliant in this role, just as she was terrible in her previous film Dead of Winter.
Weak and really stupid series...unwatchable
