Vigil
The mysterious disappearance of a Scottish fishing trawler and a death on-board the submarine HMS Vigil bring the police into conflict with the Navy and British security services. DCI Amy Silva and DS Kirsten Longacre lead an investigation on land and at sea into a conspiracy that goes to the very heart of Britain’s national security.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are mostly sold on Vigil for Suranne Jones, who carries the investigation as DCI Amy Silva, and Rose Leslie as DS Kirsten Longacre. Their performances, especially the chemistry between their characters, get the most praise and keep the show watchable. That's lucky, because the story itself is seen as a bit of a slog, with a lot of complaints about slow, meandering pacing that drags down the submarine thriller premise. It's a decent enough watch if you're into the cast, but the plot doesn't always keep up with the acting.
