Crime drama Intruder came to an end on Channel 5 tonight as the immoral actions of affluent couple Sam and Rebecca started to catch up with them, requiring drastic action to be taken.

The series has had a rough ride since it premiered on Easter Monday, with
RadioTimes.com branding it a “daft and predictable thriller” in our Intruder review, while the reaction from Twitter users has also been largely negative.
However, some people have taken to the show’s dark plot revolving around the murder of a teenage boy following a botched burglary attempt (while others have stuck around simply for laughs).
Rating:
Wherever Intruder (Channel 5) is set, I want to live there. It’s clearly on the wild Irish coast you can tell from the houses, the seascape and the rugged hills.
It boasts a picturesque Celtic fishing harbour, and boozy wine bars with great seafood. There’s even a place that advertises itself as an ‘English pub’.
Equally apparent is that it’s within easy driving distance of London, which makes it an estate agent’s paradise. We glimpse thatched cottages . . . and also palm trees.
This geographically confused place is called Becksfield and it’s quite the most believable aspect of this drama. Everything else is rather more improbable.

The Drowning seemed to have sneaked unseen past the quality control department on its way to the screen. It pulled in the viewers though, and
Intruder will probably do the same.
