This isn’t just any lake. It’s Loch Ness, inhabited by a famous monster, around which the town has built a tourism industry.

This is a series (Loch Ness, AKA The Loch) from 2017, but old thriller fun, is still fun! From Acorn, which can be viewed through Amazon Prime: “The beautiful, haunting shores of Scotland’s most iconic loch is the stunning backdrop for the new six-part crime drama. In a community nourished and sustained by myth and bordered by untamed nature, the search for a serial killer becomes a matter of life and death for local detective Annie Redford (Laura Fraser, Breaking Bad).

Within the tightly knit town, a sense of horror begins to dawn as the villagers realize that there is more than one kind of monster in their midst. Also starring Siobhan Finneran (Happy Valley).”

The majestic vastness of Loch Ness and the wild majesty of the Scottish Highlands form the setting.

Redford is faced with the formidable and unnerving task of solving her first murders and catching the killer. The body of a local man and a solitary human heart are found at the foot of Carn Mohr Mountain and the loch shore, raising fears in the tightly-knit local community that a serial killer walks amongst them.
