DCI Tom Mathias (Richard Harrington) has returned to our screens in a second series of Aberystwyth-set crime drama Hinterland.
Although he is Welsh himself, Mathias is still an outsider – a police officer from London sent to Ceredigion region on the west coast of Wales following a mysterious personal breakdown. The opening shots of this story show him still living in the revolting static caravan filled with filthy fly traps in which he dwelled for the first series. Mathias has been on unofficial sabbatical following a previous case which brought him to the edge of personal and professional ruin (again). His superior forces his return to work to the surprise and evident unease of colleagues including DI Mared Rhys (Mali Harries).
Hinterland Detective drama series set in Aberystwyth against the backdrop of mountainous terrain, isolated farms and close-knit villages. Starring Richard Harrington as DCI Tom Mathias.
Mathias walks straight into the ongoing investigation of an arson attack on a farmhouse that has left a mother and son in critical condition. This soon becomes a murder case when the eight-year-old boy dies. Tensions within the team mount when Mathias is promoted to lead investigator over a seething Rhys who views this as workplace sexism regardless of the fact that Mathias himself has been press ganged back into service.
Originally broadcast as a one-off feature length episode in Welsh on January the 1st 2015, ‘In the dead of night’ is now presented as the first episode of the second series in its English and Welsh language version. This was a sombre story, presenting the detectives’ work as bearing witness to tragedy and pain. Motive was discovered in the victim family’s logging business and the husband’s acquisition of a bankrupt farm to expand. The family that had owned the farm for generations claimed that their animals had been poisoned to drive them off their land. In turn, the logging business has come under frequent attack from vandals. Clearly there is bad blood flowing through the veins of this rural community.

Throughout series one hints were dropped about the reasons Mathias had left London, with much significance being placed on a photograph of two young girls he keeps in his caravan. Investigating the death of a child appears to have a special resonance for the troubled detective.
Hinterland’s first series established the show in the sombre tradition of Scandinavian crime drama with a psychologically scarred hero brought into a hermetic social environment filled with secrets and intrigue. This first episode of series two did nothing to break the mood. The series is leisurely in pace, more concerned with establishing mood and place than in driving the narrative along. The crimes investigated are often unglamorous – if Aberystwyth is awash with high rolling drug barons or Russian gangsters they are still to make an appearance. Hinterland’s crimes are taken from local history and the isolation of the rural environment.
While not a show to appeal to action fans. Hinterland is beautifully shot, making great use of the landscape of Ceredigion. Mathias is a variation on the troubled detective figure, some might say cliché, but Harrington brings soul to his character. Finally, at the close of the episode, fans of the show and the character were rewarded with some heartbreaking revelations about his murky past.
