StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

pigletbunny As other reviewers have noted, this a compelling mystery series. And, no, it does NOT portray the Welsh as if they were residents of Modor. Similar to Hinterland, Hidden is set in, well, the Hinterland of Wales. These shows make it INCREDIBLY obvious that they are set in low-population areas. These areas are portrayed realistically, with residents, landscapes, and the lack of utilities (s/as sewer line connections) similar to those found in less populated, fairly remote areas in many parts of our world.What is particularly impressive about Hidden is the realism. The emotions experienced by the characters in their varied roles and experiences, the police procedures and f-ups, and the day-to-day concerns of life, are all portrayed very realistically. No overacting, no needless drama. (Okay, one character needs some lessons on how one physically moves when a rib/some ribs are fractured, but I think that I'm being really picky about that, since I have personal experience with a fractured rib.)

cshawsta84 Made it through 4 episodes. I have never seen such a slow slow series in my life. This is not Igmar Bergman slow which has meaning in taking time with scenes. This is slow without any purpose. Long drawn out ... so bored.Too bad. Loved the scenery and location.Not enough to pull me through 8 hours of tedium. Hey life is short.Too much good streaming out there to waste time on this. Cut your losses and move on.

cadunn-840-586255 Low key police drama well produced and directed with fine cast.

sue-priest Every week we were utterly engrossed in this drama. The use of Welsh during some of the dialogue made it all the more compelling and somewhat reminiscent of Scandi noir, "The Killing". The bad guy was terrifying - keeping us guessing until the end as to whether he was truly evil or, himself, a simple, warped, victim of a cruel upbringing. Accomplished performances all round - shining particularly brightly was the young girl - hauntingly mute for most of the time, and the father - fighting his own personal battles with stoicism; sensitively portrayed by Ian Saynor. The characters drew you in from the start. Not for the younger viewers, but highly recommended for adult viewing.
