Breaking Cover

This series started with a good premise. A pregnant female detective trainee finds a dead body in an elevator shaft after a big flood recedes. Being pregnant everyone wants her to take it easy, like they all live back in the Victorian Era. Living in the present, she ignores them just as she ignores all the good advice she gets as well. Too bad as she and the story develops it ends up with just about every cop show trope ever conceived. I won't give out spoilers, only to say the finale in trying to resolve all these overdone themes, leaves one feeling like the writers just tried too hard to be so clever and almost, but bit quite, come up with a better series.

Jo goes to confront Lee, and finally learns the truth about what happened, but the truth coming out will have huge implications.

Definitely dramatic, and some really good scenes, in particular that big moment where Jo finally learns the truth, but it's a little too much at times.

Not totally convinced by some of the revelations, and hard to believe that some of it actually happened, but it did make for good telly. Some of the earlier happenings don't perhaps make a lot of sense after the revelations.

Nicholas Gleaves certainly delivers in this final episode, I wondered why such a good actor had such a small part, he shows us here just how good he is.

The one thing I want to know, the baby........

That ending, deliberately ambiguous, or left open for a second series, I suspect the former.

6/10.
