The ITV1 drama fightback began this week with three new dramas making their debuts.

Such a resolutely downbeat conclusion is admirable, but the poor dialogue renders it wholly unsatisfying.

The first episode drifts by in an engaging mixture of mystery and moodiness, but it falters to an end rather than building to a climax.

ITV1 has released a teaser for new two-part drama A Mother's Son, written by Chris Lang (Primeval, Hustle).

ITV has released a new preview of its upcoming new drama series, with the tagline 'Drama Lives on ITV'.
