100 WOLF REVIEW SERIAL
Slapstick and serial killers make uneasy bedfellows. I thought I was laughing in its vague direction, but I think I was laughing with it, which is deeply unsettling, given that it starts with the disappearance of a child and merrily makes its way through cancer, kidnap and “innards strung around like tinsel”. The villainy is ripe and the nihilism is strong. There are sex scenes intercut with an operatically soundtracked, heavily choreographed murder. If episode one plays it straight and moody, then by episode two, any sense of lingering restraint has chucked itself out of the window. This is the sort of thriller that it is difficult to write about in advance without ruining it completely, but I will say that anyone who has watched some of these actors in previous roles may not be totally blindsided. I spent the last 10 minutes thinking: I can’t believe I’m going to have to watch this whole thing to see if it’s going where I think it’s going.
100 WOLF REVIEW SERIES
I spent a lot of the first episode wondering what was supposed to be so different about a series that seemed like a fairly stodgy murder mystery, and why most of the characters sounded as if they were speaking in translation.
It is intensely creepy, and then two police officers, played by Sacha Dhawan and Iwan Rheon, turn up just in time to find out why the phone line has been cut.
If the London side of the story is a Luther-ish noir, then the Welsh side is a game of True Detective-themed Cluedo, as things go bump in the daytime and the family find intestines dripping from the trees. It all weaves back to Monmouthshire where, a few days earlier, a family of caricature toffs, the Anchor-Ferrers, fled in the opposite direction, leaving their London pad for residence in their country pile, which happens to be very close to the donkey pitch. Caffery has recently returned to London from Cardiff, because of the brother and the unsolved disappearance and, as always with thrillers such as this, he’s gruff and private because there’s something we don’t know about what he left behind.
100 WOLF REVIEW PROFESSIONAL
In his professional life, Caffery is the sort of blunt, straight-talking copper who tells a victim of domestic violence that unless she reports her husband, she’ll end up a decomposing corpse and the coroner will have to do all sorts of grotesque things to her body.
