And the truth is that the fiction, whose 6 chapters are already available in Movistar+, It has all the ballots to end up becoming one of the most powerful miniseries of this year.
Suranne Jones (‘Gentleman Jack’, ‘Doctor Foster’) and Rose Leslie (‘Game of Thrones’, ‘The Good Fight’) are the two protagonists of this series that is set in a British Trident nuclear submarine, those of which are equipped with nuclear deterrence. In it a murder is committed, but everyone inside the ship is a suspect. Amy Silva (Jones) is the inspector in charge of solving the homicide, but she will have to do it in a few hours and without being able to have contact with the outside world.
According to the official synopsis, “Brilliant and fragile detective Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) is sent to the submarine HMS Vigil to investigate the mysterious death of one of her crew. When the hatch closes above his head, the reality he finds is very different from what he expected.
Inside the submarine, the secrecy, the hierarchies and the claustrophobic setting complicate the investigation, and the crew is reluctant to collaborate. Meanwhile, on land, her partner and confidante Kirsten Longacre (Rose Leslie) does her own digging. The case soon transcends the walls of the submarine and reveals a conspiracy that threatens the very heart of British national security.”
The Vigil submarine is on a mission in Scottish waters when one of the crew members is found dead in his bunk. Shortly before, a fishing boat had been shipwrecked after his net had been dragged with force, which ends up dooming everyone on board.
According to protocol, the murder must be investigated by the Scottish police, which creates friction with the navy. Since the Vigil cannot dock while on mission, the police send Detective Silva to the submarine. It is a complicated job, because she is locked in a space with a murderer and with hardly any resources…
In the cast we will recognize some faces of our favorite series. For example Anjli Mohindra (‘Bodyguard’), Martin Compston (‘Line Of Duty’), Paterson Joseph (‘The Leftovers’), Connor Swindells (“Sex Education”), Adam James (‘Belgravia) or Gary Lewis (‘Outlander’). The series is made by the same production company behind ‘Bodyguard’ and ‘Line of Duty’ so you can imagine that it is a real high voltage fiction.
The series is set in Scotland, the same place where it has been shot. It has been enthusiastically received by critics. For example, ‘The Guardian’ has called it “an absolute spectacle”, while the ‘Evening Standard’ states that it has “all the makings of a tense mystery with intriguingly murky depths”.
‘Vigil: Nuclear Conspiracy’ is going to offer you a huge adrenaline experience that intensifies as you witness plot twists and turns. It is not very new, but it does collect all the resources of the genre and the fact that it takes place inside a submarine makes it much more claustrophobic.
As well The urgency that the inspector has in solving the crime is interesting and how this completely marks the plot and the relationships between the British police, navy and security services.
‘Vigil: Nuclear Conspiracy’ is very exciting, it gets more and more complicated and what looks like just a murder gets entangled with political problems, espionage, cover-ups… Also, Silva has a personal history that makes her unsuitable for being inside a submarine. and confined in that state.
In short, a very addictive underwater journey in six episodes that you decide on: Do you see them Monday to Monday or do you wait until they are all on Movistar+ to do the marathon? It will be worth it to you anyway.
