Deadwater Fell

The true twist of Deadwater Fell? That there’s really no twist at all.

Surprise, Deadwater Fell viewers. Our suspicions were right all along. The series’ penultimate episode reveals that David Tennant’s Tom is indeed a serious contender for Dirtbag of the Year. But does that mean he's a killer?

Deadwater Fell is a series that’s deeply interested in forcing us, as viewers, to confront our assumptions and prejudices about the kind of story we’re watching.

If you’re looking for a pleasantly escapist drama during these dark times, I am here to tell you that Deadwater Fell is not that show.

It’s certainly a compelling series – dark and difficult, with great performances and a deeply murky and uncomfortable central mystery – but it’s not what you could under any circumstances call light. Obviously, I think it’s worth watching, or I wouldn’t be here telling you about it, but forewarned is forearmed and all that.
