American true-crimes podcaster Gilbert Power (Will Forte) is doing the cold case of three missing persons some twenty years ago in a small Irish town. Emmy Sizergh (Robyn Cara) is his accompanying researcher. Hard-nosed investigative journalist Dove Maloney (Siobhán Cullen) finds her government whistleblower source having apparently committed suicide. Her boss forces her off the case and join Gilbert despite her objections. Gilbert gleefully does his interviews while she digs deep into local mysteries.
I like a lot of this, but there are some minor issues. I really like Will Forte and his off-center comedic style. Siobhán Cullen is a great straight woman partner. I'm fine with the mystery initially until there is just one twist too many. By the time of the nuns, I throw my hands up and stop trying. While one can follow the mystery, I don't think that I want to. I would have wanted the show to do more comedy and simplify the story.
