New viewer route

Start without spoiling the story

Learn the premise, choose where to watch and unlock deeper guide sections as you finish each episode.

Before episode one

Peter Kingdom is a respected solicitor in the fictional Norfolk town of Market Shipborough. His half-brother Simon is missing, and his sister Beatrice is about to disrupt his ordered life. That is all you need to begin.

Your spoiler-safe path

  1. Check legitimate availability on the watching guide.
  2. Use the rewatch tracker in broadcast order.
  3. Open an episode page only after viewing it.
  4. Delay character arcs, chronology and unresolved storylines until completing all three series.

After the finale

Continue to the family chronology, continuity notebook and unresolved-story analysis.
