Maryland viewers slam show after spotting ‘frustrating’ detail about the location
MARYLAND viewers have been left fuming after discovering the show isn’t actually filmed on the Isle of Man.
The ITV drama, which stars Suranne Jones, was in fact shot in Ireland despite centring on a woman who moved to Isle of Man.

Filming took place in Wicklow, which is located outside Dublin – 140 miles from where the show is set.
The three part drama follows Becca and Rosaline who have forged ahead with their lives, growing distant through time and circumstance, until the discovery of their mother Mary’s body on the Isle of Man reunites them.
Arriving in a place they have never visited and with no idea why their mother was there, the sisters begin to unravel the long-held secrets of a woman they thought they knew, while keeping their own secrets from each other.
The location of Mary’s house is located on Howth Peninsula – and viewers are not happy.

Speaking about the location, writer and co-creator Anne-Marie O’Connor told : “I love Ireland although I was really disappointed not be able to use the Isle of Man.
“I would have loved to film there. There’s a real specificity to the island. But I think we’ve done a really good job of selling the Isle of Man with Ireland and the locations that we found.”
