DI Ray

The lead character highlights the low and not so low level racism inherent across English society in a measured and realistic way. On the downside the story is a bit thin and leads boss is very annoying (as they always seem to be in British police dramas).

Was really enjoying it then it seemed to speed up and come to an end?

Could have been a couple more episodes between 3 and 4.

Hope it returns for a second season.

No hanging about, straight in to the action which engages from the start and piques the interest. It's an ok story, Birmingham is a different choice of venue so made a refreshing change from London. A bit predictable in places, but easy enough to watch.

Interesting that some have a negative view of this 4 part series. I cant say the same thing! It IS pretty good with the central character being brought in to solve a crime. It isnt clear until the final episode who Mr Bambers character is, which is helpful. The officer does crack it and it will be interesting to see if they bring her back for a 2nd series.

I liked D. I. Ray and thought Parminder Nagra and Maanuv Thiara were great in their performances. However the storyline felt disjointed at times and key information about characters was missing. Line of Duty really has set the bar high and I hope they meet it in season 2.
