Torn about the ending

Liz Anderson 11:14am

ITV’s three-parter Torn came to an end last night. This drama by Chris Lang about an abducted child was one of the most gripping television plays I have seen for ages. Holly Aird, playing the child’s mother, was terrific, as were all the cast. More, please. Note to Radio Times: don’t give away the ending in your blurb next time.

The presentation dealt very well with the conflicting emotions borne of a sequence of events such as these. The trouble is that three one hour episodes cannot match the drama created by much deeper productions such as Cracker, Prime Suspect, and tha king of them all, Inspector Morse. The story's climax came and went too quickly.
