This is the show that made me forsake the glam and predictability of Hollywood productions for the breathtaking landscape of Northumberland and the astounding scripts of British drama. Brenda Blethyn as the sharp- tongued, no-nonsense detective pulls the viewer into each episode and doesn't let go until the end. Each episode is superbly written, with attention grabbing plots and conclusions that mirror human nature at it's best...or worst. Here's hoping for another season.
