So, you know, first just to indulge my obsession, we actually got someone saying something in Welsh zomg! When Gwen gets off the helicopter, PC Andy says, "Croeso i Gymru," which, if you're curious, means "Welcome to Wales." From the way he said it, Andy's not a fluent speaker, but it's one of those phrases most people here know and recognise. I liked it, it was a nice touch.

Now, on to the actual series.

Yeah. Maybe that's it. This should have been the start of an apocalypse. And it wasn't. So it just comes off as unendingly dark for the sake of it. A few beautiful moments in there, and when I think about it as a standalone, a surprisingly good story from this creative team, but ultimately, I find myself thinking, if this wasn't really the start of the end of everything, then what was the point?
