The Lakes Season 1 is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.
Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find The Lakes Season 1 proves them wrong. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. John Simm anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
