After The Flood Season 1: A Haunting Mystery Beneath the Surface

A catastrophic flood opens a murder investigation. Here's a review of the first season of BritBox's After The Flood.  

BritBox has proven to be an excellent source for weekend binge material, and the new six-part crime thriller, After the Flood, is no exception. This series immerses viewers in a gripping world of mystery and suspense, where a devastating disaster unveils dark secrets and challenges the limits of justice.

The thriller unfolds in the aftermath of a catastrophic flood, which exposes a mysterious body in a submerged parking garage. What begins as a standard investigation quickly transforms into a complex mystery that unearths hidden secrets with high personal stakes.

Sophie Rundle delivers a commanding central performance as PC Joanna Marshall, a determined officer who balances her professional duty with her strong personal convictions. Her relentless pursuit of the truth drives the story's emotional weight, even when it means bending the rules.

While the final episodes may divide some viewers, the journey leading up to them is consistently gripping and rewarding. With strong performances, brilliant pacing, and an eerie small-town setting, After The Flood stands out as a worthwhile watch that successfully merges environmental disaster with classic crime drama. Overall, I give this first season an 8/10.
