I Watch TV: The InBetween

The InBetween

Cass (Harriet Dyer) can see the dead and also has various other visions. Her dad (Paul Blackthorne) is a Seattle police detective*. Together they fight crime!

The show is better than it sounds, perhaps at its best when it commits to horror. Cass goes to a hospital and to her it’s basically a zombie movie filled with maimed people staggering about. The dead serial killer who is trying to get out of the InBetween by maybe doing good is fairly creepy.

It doesn’t seem to have anything to say about crime or detective work, which is a pity as at least half of every episode is the cops going around doing cop stuff. It doesn’t have the immediacy of Cass’s visions. They cancelled it after ten episodes which is sad as if they’d managed to get Blackthorne and his partner (Justin Cornwell) to do something a bit more interesting it would have been rather good.

* He’s British so Paul Blackthorne uses his native accent which was quite disorienting as I’d only ever heard him use an American one. Also he drinks Yorkshire Gold tea.
