It’s a series that would benefit from abandoning the more po-faced scenes of political humour and lean into its other element – the sort of dark humour that made British crime thriller Luther so much fun. When the final twists are revealed, and dastardly plans are unveiled, they are bizarre, bold and high camp, and the final episode contains a tone and pace that should have been there all along.

Welsh does excel at dangerous sleazebags, and doesn’t disappoint here: the rancidly misogynist officer from series one, played by Jamie Sives, has been replaced by another, played by David Elliot.

That people are bigoted, especially within the police, isn’t a problem story-wise. That’s real. But it’s the clunky, retrograde way it’s depicted, as if the script were pulled from a drawer where it’s been buried for the last 40 years.
