This was a bostin’ return for one of my favourite police procedurals on TV. DI Ray has a lot more to say than just “not all brown people speak Hindi” – and it’s well worth watching
-
Nagra’s performance is convincing and nuanced, even if DI Ray annoyingly wades into situations she is not supposed to. .... The turf war gangster story is less engaging (but then I do find gangster/drugs plots meh), yet it’s warming up. It had an extra boost from the endlessly watchable Michael Socha as the gang kingpin’s son Dave Chapman.

The issues drag everything else down. If you want viewers to become hooked by a detective series, you need to pour your energies into the crime. Ray has become so mired in misery over her treatment that it distracts from everything else, and also blinds her to the fact that she is deservedly in trouble half the time for ignoring orders and going into dangerous situations without the required back-up.
