I gave episode one a chance and quickly got hooked into the whole series. It had an intelligent plot and script, was generally well acted, but was slightly marred by background music which too often drowned out the dialogue.
The characters were obviously written to conform to the BBC's Equal Ops diversity policy. (I'm all in favour of inclusivity, but does every drama now have to have a representative mix of every gender, orientation, and ethnic grouping?) An interesting twist was that the male detective was for once intelligent, empathetic and unaggressive.
It was interesting to see the forensic science at work in parallel with routine police investigations. .
