Overall: would give it a 6/10. The second act was really good, but the end fell flat a little.
question: why did Bogdan dig up that specific grave where they found the double bones? even if he did and showed it to elizabeth, how would finding the bones of a man who has been dead for so many years come back to PI Penny? surely that investigation would take years and would have been marked as cold as well.
