5/18/2023 0 Comments Shetland raven black![]() ![]() ![]() Although Tosh seems like an unwelcome comedy addition to Shetland, Alison O’Donnell is so likeable in the role that it’s hard not to warm to the character. Upon being asked to photograph Mima Wilson’s body she throws up, not from the sight of the body but from the chocolate vodka she has over-indulged in the night before. O’Donnell is the slight comic relief in Shetland, a lightening of the tone. Henshall does have a nice, warm chemistry with his co-star Alison O’Donnell as Tosh, his much younger colleague. The time that we see him interacting with his stepdaughter is limited and they’re going to have filled in a few more blanks if the makers want to build up enough intrigue that viewers will be curious to tune in for a second story in the future. ![]() Jimmy Perez is a decent leading character for Shetland and Henshall is good enough in this opening episode. Perez likes his Shetland as the place where people don’t lock their doors at night, and the total disdain he shows for city type, university Professor Berglin leads us to suspect that he is perhaps running away to the wilderness of Shetland from something that happened previously, possibly the death of his wife. Although we got to know little of his back story this episode, we gleaned that Perez has been away and returned to Shetland with his stepdaughter Cassie, following the death of her mother. ![]()
