I shouldn't post a review as I'm only on Episode 2, but I'm pretty disgusted and probably won't continue to watch this.
I want to say up front that I like Amanda Burton. I just have trouble understanding the characters she's played, from Silent Witness and as Clare here. For some reason, whenever she's in a series, she plays a man magnet and seems to have a new beau in every episode.
In this series, however, this man magnet business is unforgivable. She's playing the head of the Crimes Division at New Scotland Yard, and she sleeps with a recently-released man she put in jail 12 years earlier . There's more - the police under her are trying to discredit her, and have made this guy a suspect in a murder that has occurred since his release.
Now I ask you, how professional is this? And the actor who plays the ex-con, Hugh Bonneville, is considered by the women in the TV show to be hot stuff. I guess I'm just used to the old classic film stars because a man who served 12 years for killing his girlfriend should be pretty easy to resist.
How can anyone believe a woman in her situation would do such a thing? It's ridiculous.
