What BollyAI Thinks

Series 5 maintained an 88 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, a slight step back from Series 4's ambition but still well within quality range. The case investigation was competently handled but less distinctive than the Norwegian strand of the previous series. Perez's characterisation continued to deepen and Henshall's performance remained the series' primary asset. The Shetland landscape had by now become so central to the show's identity that location sequences served as a reliable quality signal regardless of the episode's narrative strength. A solid if slightly routine instalment from a series in excellent overall health.
