It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Skip it--not worth the time.**Contains massive and explicit spoilers below** **You have been warned** This is one of the grimmest stories I've ever watched. Normally I like BBC productions and they're usually pretty good, but this one dragged on and on. This was a village of twisted little freaks. Anyone and everyone could have done it.Another reviewer called the black ex-cop a heroine, and all I can say is WTF? She framed someone who wasn't the killer in order to save her husband! Yikes.And an unanswered question: what happened to the body? Confession: I skipped the second-to-last episode because I was bored, but still curious. If the body was found in that episode, I apologize.

I came here to see if IMDb could suggest something similar to this. It's been about a year since I watched it and I still remember how good it was. I see other ratings range from 1 to 10, so there's obviously quite a difference of opinion. I think it's unfair that some reviewers gave it a low rating because they expected a straight-forward police procedural and got something else. My only quibble was that the teenagers seemed a little older than the story said, and apart from that I thought it was fabulous and unpredictable, and I was satisfied with the ending. I strongly recommend it. Watch with an open mind, and pay attention.

The disappearance of the May Queen in an idyllic English village shatters the veneer that's masked years of intrigue. Like beetles crawling out from under freshly cracked bark - historic issues swarm to the surface, each one a motivation for a resident to want her out of the way for good. What happened to Hattie? Did she run away? Is she really dead as people assume? This is a production that Kudos & BBC can be proud of. One where the casting worked and the characters were utterly believable. The script was solid and the story gripping without reaching for gimmicks. I enjoyed how it subtly touched on the old English mysteries without the need to drench them in exposition - and the misdirection kept me wondering who was responsible right up until the final moments. Yet it never felt laboured or contrived, delivering a steady flow of well crafted storytelling up to the last second.Watching this was time well spent.

BBC has built its reputation on providing excellent Drama over the years & Mayday is no exception. The story surrounds a missing girl & it seems that everyone who knew her could be responsible for her disappearance. This Drama twists & turns and all the characters seem to be watching each other and doubt is at the forefront of everyone's mind. The BBC has excelled itself this time with a familiar cast of seasoned actors & a few new faces. I found this series to have an almost sinister edge with the music adding to the atmosphere, very well directed & the leafy calm of Surrey was the perfect place in which to film it.
