The programme is set in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Wales, and the three series were filmed in and around the town, often in rural locations.

The critical reaction to “Hinterland- Y Gwyll"” was favourable. Wales Arts Review wrote: “Y Gwyll has been shot with real intelligence; simple, subtle and with both eyes focused on the feeding of the atmospheric cloud over the piece.”

“Hinterland-Y Gwyll” went on to be shown in 150 countries.
