The focus of ''Y Gwyll'' is on our protagonist DCI Tom Mathias (Richard Harrington), who has relocated from London to the coastal town of Aberystwyth in the west of Wales. He is joined by DI Mared Rhys (Mali Harries), DC Lloyd Elis (Alex Harries), DS Siân Owens (Hannah Daniel), and CS Brian Prosser (Aneirin Hughes). The series has been described as [[RecycledInSpace Scandi-noir in Wales (or alternatively a Celtic-noir)]], in the same vein as ''Series/{{Forbrydelsen}}'', ''Series/BronBroen'', or ''Series/{{Wallander}}'', sharing similarly bleak settings and the same moody tone. Some might also describe it as "''Series/{{Luther}}'' Goes to ''Series/{{Broadchurch}}''."
