From Acorn TV:
This powerful crime thriller written by Matt Charman (Bridge of Spies) dives into the murky depths of undercover police work and tells the story of a woman willing to risk everything to protect her family. Sheridan Smith (Jonathan Creek, Accused) delivers a powerhouse performance as Jo Gillespie, a police constable who embarks on a dangerous investigation of her husband’s death.
From Acorn TV you can stream the 3 episodes of this series. Each episode lasts about 45 minutes.
Because this engrossing procedural, which takes place in Leeds, involves so many facets, for a while I could not imagine the story ending in a mere 3 episodes. Have no fear, the conclusion is quite satisfying.
You can hear various accents include the Scottish accent of Douglas Henshall and the Yorkshire accent of others, especially the character Zoe Nash.
Familiar faces abound:
- Matthew McNulty, who plays Jack, was Steve Campbell in the wonderful Deadwater Fell, which is also found on Acorn TV.
- Geraldine James, who plays CC Carolyn Jarecki, was 65 years old in the filming. Her resumé is enormous.
- Douglas Henshall, who plays DCS Hepburn, was DI Jimmy Pere in Shetland. He appears in many familiar series.
- Was there ever a more familiar veteran than Phil Davis ( who plays Tom Piper) ? He has played in everything (slight exaggeration but just take a glance at his IMDB entry).
For most of the 3 episodes I spent much time trying to figure out who is corrupt. There are a lot of name to remember, but names are used a lot. And some of those names are bad guys, so stay alert.
So well done that I feel obliged to say DO NOT MISS!
