Vigil was a ratings hit for the BBC. While some critics debated the realism of the police being allowed on a nuclear submarine, the show was widely praised for its pacing, cinematography, and the performances of Jones and Leslie. It is often described as a "binge-worthy" thriller because each episode ends on a cliffhanger, making it perfect for downloading and watching in succession. vigil o2tvseries
