Solid if slightly derivative BBC crime drama
An enjoyable, if slightly unspectacular crime drama, good cast, decent writing but perhaps lacking in a wow factor.
The plot jumps around a little so you need to be paying attention and there's a few plot twists which flirt with the implausible but overall it's well worth a watch.
It's been overhyped in the press with comparisons to Happy Valley and it's certainly not in that league, but not much is so it's more than a little unfair.
Good performance by Jenna Coleman in the lead role plus a decent supporting cast too.
Plus the 80s Saab convertible as the obligatory quirky detective car is a nice touch for viewers of a certain age.
