Chris Lang’s writing seems to have slipped a little below the high standards established in Nicola Walker’s leading role heyday. Yet there’s a Zen-like acceptance to the way that Bhaskar delivers his lines, as if he’s not going to let some leaden dialogue hinder the smooth running of proceedings.

The supporting cast is strong, with Victoria Hamilton standing out as the beleaguered lecturer. But whether you stick around to find out how the four suspects are connected (the series continues tonight), or to enjoy the performances and plot twists, may depend on your political stripes.

I have only seen the first episode, so perhaps it will do what it always does, and bring together its disparate strands into one cohesive and predictably satisfying conclusion. Right now, though, it is no longer as soothing as it was.
