    Whose idea was it to introduce such an antipathic lead character, with zero charisma, zero appeal, nothing to relate to the audience with (cheating husband in the first five minutes? Honestly? THAT is what they thought will make a female cop interesting? Holy ***), nothing to try and fix the loss of the previous lead and, I have to say, nothing fun about all this at all.

    First-rate. .... The search for the sordid truth brings Sunny and Jessie closer together. I look forward to more of their partnership. [4 - 24 Sep 2023, p.8]

    [Detective Chief Inspector Jessica James'] underlings call her ma’am (“mum” in the British pronunciation) but she tells them “guv” will suffice. The show could use more of that dry humor.
