A not bad police drama that doesn't deviate much from the standard model for 2010s' crime shows, but if it fails to transcend the clichés of the genre, it is decently acted with a strong supporting cast to MyAnna Buring's effective lead including a number I usually associate with comedy roles. The series is split into two distinct plot lines linked by the main characters, with the first, occupying the first two episodes, more compelling than the second. The show sustains a good amount of effective tension and I found it worthwhile, certainly worthy of developing further. The pregnancy of Buring's character doesn't seem to get in the way of her getting into threatening situations which may or may not be explained by behaviors deriving from an abusive childhood, but certainly had me worrying about the baby to come as well as DI Weeks herself . All in all enjoyable crime TV.
