The Field of Blood

Lead actress put in a fine effort, despite a crap script.

David Morrissey never could act and Katherine Kelly playing the new editor is a cliche. She should try soap operas.. Her overacting along with the obviously male writing team shocker of a script insults all working women.

Even in the early 80's the blokes weren't all uniformly horny, dimwitted and misogynist & senior women didn't pout and posture trying to look menacing & looking like a parody & young female reporters weren't ready to screw everything walking no matter how ambitious they were.

Shocking use of some great actors, the mother played by expended wonderful Branagh Gallagher a cardboard cutout, the supporting actors had far more gravitas and talent than Morrissey and Kelly.

No wonder Jonas Armstrong got out of it after two episodes.

Hope the lead actress got a better series and script after this mess.
