The plot thickened with the suicide of Gail's husband Malcolm whose project had been destroyed by Hattie's campaign and led him to financial ruin. This threw more suspicion on Malcolm which led Gail and her son James to get rid of the evidence showing Malcolm's obsession over the failed project. It also added more into this vigilante feeling that emerged and made the people searching and their intentions quite dark. This can be seen by Steve who leads the search and tries to divert it from his mentally ill brother Seth who often lives in the woods because of his belief in druidism.
There are also strange happenings as the trees seem to whisper, the odd behaviour of Fiona's daughter Charlotte and Linus kept seeing the ghost of his mother as he tried to discover more about his father. Meanwhile, his friendship with Hattie's sister Caitlin added a good and nice quality compared to the psychological darkness. There was a lot of character development looking into differing aspects creating an effective and complex narrative, leading to a dramatic finale where it was revealed to be Fiona's husband Alan was the murderer, but she framed Linus' father Everett, and Caitlin transformed into Hattie and haunted Alan as he picnicked with this family.
The main cast including Leila Mimmack, Sophie Okonedo, Max Fowler, Lesley Manville and Sam Spruell all gave great performances and really held the story and me captivated. Peter Firth, Aidan Gillen, Peter McDonald and Tom Fisher also gave good portrayals and worked well with the main cast to make it an intriguing and complicated drama.
