I never saw the UK version, but I have to believe that anything is better than the US premiere I saw. Maybe it gets better, but I was really bored. The only interesting part I remember was the kid's best friend apparently keeping secrets (because who keeps serious secrets at that age?). Tennant's character was just plain unappealing and unattractive with that awful hair. The female detective characterization was so ham-handedly Tennant's foil. And they both were so painfully unprofessional during the beginning stages of an obviously serious investigation and new working relationship. I actually got up to go and fold laundry while it was on.

"The only interesting part I remember was the kid's best friend apparently keeping secrets (because who keeps serious secrets at that age?)"

Kids from highly dysfunctional homes do, all the time. It's practically textbook behavior for situations where children are emotionally, physically or sexually abused, if they're ashamed of something or someone (alcoholic parent, mental illness in the family, poverty), or if they're simply too afraid to tell anyone because they're worried about getting in trouble, getting parents in trouble, that what's happening to them is normal and no one will care, etc. etc.

Lots of reasons for kids to keep serious secrets, most of them very sad.

Sorry. I didn't word that very well. I meant keeping secrets about your supposed best friend's murder. It was more the obvious conspiring to keep some secret about it that caught my attention. While a lot of kids from dysfunctional homes certainly keep secrets or only tell one or two peers, I hope there's not a lot of conspiring to keep details significant to a murder secret going on in the world. (Although I'm sure there's more of it than anyone would hope.)

I didn't watch past the first episode, and I would imagine that the reason that this kid is keeping secrets is also very sad. The way it was played out in the 30 second scene (in comparison to his earlier, apparent lies) though was the only part that captured my interest.

I don't know, I could see keeping quiet about your friend's murder as a kid, because you're pretty powerless and the murderer is likely an adult. So even if you speak up, you risk other adults not believing you, and you probably put yourself in danger as well.

[replicantangel]

I can too, but the scene seemed more... I dunno... sinister? Like he was actively conspiring to cover it up to save his own skin. Not a scared or powerless thing, but a crafty one.

Or I've been seeing too many shows lately with precocious child killers lately and am imagining things, lol.
