So, first off, I'm a huge fan of Brutish crime dramas. So when I first saw this, great! Then I started watching the show, and a few episodes in, I realized that while the performances are great, Capaldi is great as always, Cush is good a well.. unfortunately, by the 5th episode it has devolved into so much less than what it could have been. Really wanted to like the series, but the writers decided that instead of solving crimes, it's more about an agenda dressed as a crime drama.
There are so many tropes, like all the veteran cops are bad and only people of colour want justice... it doesn't help that the lead female detective is getting more annoying as each episode goes on. I think it's pretty predictable how this is going to end. Now if you really want to make a twist, have the boyfriend actually did commit the crime...
