About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want smart, character-driven British crime drama with dark humor and morally messy people, in the vein of Inspector Morse or Line of Duty; Not for you if you prefer light, tidy mysteries.

Pros: brilliantly written; gripping cases; complex characters | Cons: bleak subject matter; some bloody scenes; feels a little dated
