My biggest gripe of this series, as well as a number of other recent crime/police shows is the obsession of having a woman as the boss copper. I can't remember the last time a man was the top cop,I mean woman are constantly bemoaning that they can't get the top jobs but in TV land they have all of them in the police.
OK whinge over. I have to say I basically enjoyed this series, thankfully they didn't drag it out to 6 or 8 episodes like some others I could mention. The main thing I didn't really understand was why it was important to bring Claire back from retirement after all those years, they didn't need to. Performances were very good from the two main leads and the Scottish scenery was as nice relief from Manchester, I mean who would willingly live there? Yes it could have been better, pace could have been faster certainly but at least the identity of the murderer wasn't obvious. It isn't awful like a lot of other reviews just not as good as we expect from Auntie Beeb.
Didn't see the ending coming either.
