One of Us is a British drama television miniseries created and written by Harry and Jack Williams. The story starts with childhood sweethearts Adam Elliot and Grace Douglas who have returned home from their honeymoon and are found brutally murdered. Their families and neighbours in the remote Scottish Highland village of Braeston are devastated, but things take an even darker turn when a badly injured man arrives at their doorstep after his car comes off the road – a man who seems to be the killer.

  • Reception

    Critical reception of the first episode was positive, with Joni Blyth of the The Evening Standard describing it as "Tarantino-meets-Shakespeare ... A mash-up of Romeo and Juliet and The Hateful Eight, with the plight of young lovers bringing conflict between two families, who are trapped together with a killer during a storm. Whether it ends in Tarantino-like carnage remains to be seen". Ben Dowell of the Radio Times praised the opening episode as "a clever, chilling and original thriller" and "a strong opener to what promises to be a gripping four-part series". Dowell goes on to praise the acting as "first rate, even if a lot of the acting requires rather a lot of frenetic emoting as this horror story unfolds". The show also received praise for its tone and style with Phill Fisk of The Guardian calling it "a grim, gloomy thriller with a latent moral edge".
