About This Show
Max and Jake make a terrible decision after an accident, then discover that keeping it quiet requires considerably more effort than telling the truth would have done. Guilt turns that simple predicament into a Scottish crime comedy with a very sharp sense of sibling resentment.
Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives give the brothers different ways of making matters worse. Max's confidence is not the same as competence, while Jake's objections do not necessarily produce a workable alternative. Their shared history makes an argument funny before the surrounding criminal trouble has even arrived.
The writing is economical. Small encounters acquire consequences, and people who seem peripheral have reasons to interfere. The humour does not remove the danger; it makes the attempts to manage it more uncomfortable.
This is an easy recommendation for viewers who enjoy a cover-up gathering complications rather than a detective solving them. Bad Sisters offers related family loyalties and dark comedy. Your Honor takes a comparable impulse to protect somebody and plays it much more solemnly.
