The Guardian

The well-worn story of criminal investigations stirring up long-buried pain, mainly for the investigators, always receives an unusually thoughtful treatment in Shetland – and it seems it will power a finely constructed dynamic between the new crime-solving duo, Tosh and Ruth.

The Guardian

Shetland is solidly constructed, dark when it needs to be and full of odd little touches. It is probably not designed to make you think about moving to Shetland, but it still has that effect.

The Guardian

It’s a damn good yarn, a gripping detective story, on top of the mood, the wildness. The beautiful landscape and all that.

This is evidently some sort of ritual, with the dead animals all marked with a mysterious symbol.

IMDb

After a good pilot and a fairly good first full series I feel that Shetland is starting to come into its own, this second full series has started in fine form.

Rotten Tomatoes

So beautifully written and complex, raising the level of crime series to psychological art.

Rotten Tomatoes

This debut episode was well paced though with some good characters and chemistry and did more than enough to make its viewer more than curious about where the second half will go.

IMDb

Douglas Henshall manages to invest it with a convincing, emotional gravitas that goes beyond what's written in the script.
