At last, a drama that isn't padded out to the ultimate extremes, actually has a plot AND an ending, and makes sense. I can't praise this enough. Having just binged the whole thing I'm impressed how the storyline unfolded, how the Whodunnit element of the series was unrelenting until the very end, and with the quality of the acting. I didn't catch the names of the writers, but I hope to see more of their stuff as soon as possible.
The only let-down is the supposed sex appeal of Lesley Sharp, who has more wrinkles than anyone I've ever seen. Some guy that could well be her grandson wants to take her to Paris for a romantic weekend? Seriously? Why?
If it wasn't for this laughably ridiculous and totally unnecessary part of the series it would be nigh on perfect. 😢

Started out well, but quickly went downhill.
Of particular irritation is the perpetual country 'music'. This just never lets up, often twanging away over the dialogue, with Billy-Bob-Billy and Sue-Ellen-Sue, et al, viciously attacking the audience's senses. After two series I must admit I just couldn't take any more.
It did seem that the interesting original premise was dragged out to encompass syndicates, twin brothers, cartels, etc.
Everyone gets killed at one stage or another, but then is suddenly OK again.
The two heroines strut about in spray-on jeans, barely able to bend at the knee. Considering they're P. I.s this can't be practical.
