Created by Tom Edge
The mysterious disappearance of a Scottish fishing trawler and a death on-board the submarine HMS Vigil bring the police into conflict with the Navy and British security services. DCI Amy Silva and DS Kirsten Longacre lead an investigation on land and at sea into a conspiracy that goes to the very heart of Britain’s national security. From TMDB

Hope has come from unexpected places and Liu’s story is a big one. The other? The submarine-set mystery series Vigil, which includes a 50ish detective coping with her depression/trauma.
positive · AI labelView post →I binged all of season 1 of “Vigil” - the one with the age-gap sapphic detectives solving spy murder aboard a Scottish submarine - and there’s simply never been a more Claire-coded show lesbian “Hunt For Red October” with Suranne Jones and Rose Leslie??????
positive · AI labelView post →In Catholic school, the Stations of the Cross were a particularly boring highlight of a series of events I generally did not enjoy (fasting, Good Friday service, Easter Vigil, etc). I would have felt differently had I realized it was an opportunity for getting political. Pope Leo XIV is the GOAT

neutral · AI labelView post →Thanks for this- don’t seem to watch much but it’s interesting to see what others find! At present I’m trying to catch up on the latest series of Vigil (BBC iPlayer) and it seems really good, investigating a murder in the Arctic. Series 1 on a submarine was brilliant too but have missed series 2…..
positive · AI labelView post →The detective main characters in the BBC series Vigil make so many ridiculously stupid decisions..
negative · AI labelView post →Peacock has a bunch of really good British shows on their platform right now. If you’re interested in great detective dramas, check out #Vigil. I love Suranne Jones in everything she does, so I may be biased, but this show is one of the best. collider.com/vigil-tv-show/
neutral · AI labelView post →The BBC politics programmes have lost viewers so it’s seems to have turned to advertising itself. I’ve also noticed after a drama series (Vigil) the announcer felt the need to pleadingly say ‘This comes from YOUR BBC, making programmes for YOU’. All is not well at the corporation.

neutral · AI labelView post →I think she’s a brilliant actor. Gentleman Jack was outstanding. Vigil S1 was good tense tv, but the writing has declined terribly and this series plot is laughably bad.
neutral · AI labelView post →VIGIL is such a weird show. Doesn’t make a single lick of sense, the writing and (nonsensical) plotting is sloppy as hell… and yet it is somehow rather entertaining.
neutral · AI labelView post →A TV series I've just finished watching (third season of BBC's Vigil), has been having a hard time getting to grips with bacterium/a. "A bacteria" cropped up more than once. Ngram shows "a bacteria" has been on a slow rise since 1900, but I'm certainly hearing it more now than a few decades ago.
