Looking forward to where they take this premise! Merchant View profile Like Liked 1 14 May 2025 · 44 words Review by Jamie 2 Really intriguing start to this series! It was only around the halfway mark where I began to really notice the UNIT names, even Harry's actor appearing too caught me off guard at first.Very keen to see where the story progresses from here.

In this first episode of Seaside Murderers, Wyatt and Louisa try to navigate the latest case and their looming mental health problems. They're obstructed by helpful villagers, rewritten statements, lackadaisical approaches to time and a show which seems to exist. I very much enjoy this release so far. Normally, one can sort of guess where this would go due to it being a Doctor Who episode, but as this is also a Time War episode, what is actually happening is anyone's guess. I love the way everything feels so slightly off, which greatly enhances the atmosphere, and I also love how they've included UNIT. I wonder where this will go next.
