The Guilty

 
The Guilty is a new television crime drama on ITV about a 4 year old boy who went missing. The story line is to find out who killed him, or how he died. The series only one episode in starting on Thursday 5th September, is extremely tense and intriguing displaying the events taking place to find the vanished infant.
 
The recently aired drama stars Tamsin Greig (DC Maggie Brand) as head detective in charge of the case. The mother of the boy missing is acted tremendously by Katherine Kelly (Claire Reid). The series will infold the story and happenings of finding out how Claire's son was killed or taken and who committed this crime.
 
Below is a full cast list.
 
The series drama was produced by Hartswood Films and ITV 1 and was distributed by Independent Television (ITV).
 
Below is a newspaper review of The Guilty.
 
The main characters are Tamsin Greig as DC Maggie Brand, Katherine Kelly as Claire Reid and Darren Boyd as Daniel Reid.
Tamsin Greig plays the serious detective who is head of the team searching for the 4 year old. Tamsin has been in numerous TV programs and dramas, films and she has also done some theatre. Katherine Kelly acts as the lost child's mum. Katherine is most commonly know for being in Coronation Street as  Becky McDonald but she has also done some other small appearances too. Darren Boyd plays the father of Callum the lost 4 year old. Darren has achieved a BAFTA award for Best Comedy Performance along with some other nominations for starring in Television and Films.
 
I watched the very first episode of The Guilty. I found it very touching and real. All of the main characters were strong actors and played out the story well. The first episode consisted of the finding of the young boy after 5 years of him being missing, it also included some hints using flashbacks to the time leading up to his disappearance. I enjoyed this drama a lot as it really grabbed me and reeled me in. I liked it so much that I will be watching next weeks episode and carrying on with the entire series.
