Holding review: West Cork shines in episode 2 of Graham Norton adaptation
Siobhan McSweeney in episode two of Holding, on ITV.
The makers of Holding - the major new series shot in West Cork - are clearly aiming for a blend of wacky humour and crime drama in the story of a missing local. The difficulty is that so far they’re not coexisting peacefully.
This tale of a cold case murder in West Cork, based on Graham Norton’s bestselling novel, is leaning in on the eccentricity - but as evidenced in episode two, that’s a tone that’s not easy to get right.
