Suranne Jones, Lesley Sharp and Amelia Bullmore carry this series incredibly well. All superlative actresses who bring their characters to life. Actually like real people that the viewer cares for. The cases are secondary to their relationship to each other and their colleagues in the police station where they all work. We don't need extreme build ups to the cases so the episodes tend to start after the case has occurred or right at the first investigation. I personally think is the best cop show I have seen. The writing is tight and ,I assume, meticulously researched. Amelia Bullmore even write some episodes, brilliantly I may add. I have now seen 4 series and it just maintains the extremely high standards of the first outing. If you haven't seen it, make a point of checking it out.
