Marcella: Episode #1.1 (2016)
Season 1, Episode 1
8/10
Hard to Like Character
10 September 2016
Our first view of Marcella is of her in a bathtub, a nasty cut on her head, with walls covered with blood all around her. We now go back several days and are introduced to her in fits and starts. She is at the end of a marriage to a man who says he no longer loves her. She violently throws him out. She is sort of an Incredible Hulk who goes off in rages; she even Carrie Underwoods the husband's car. She is a former police detective who failed to solve the case of a serial killer who disables his victims and then suffocates them with plastic bags over their faces. She immediately asks to go back on the job she left ten years before. She is edgy and short with those she confronts. He husband works for a big real estate developer with a cutthroat female boss who takes no prisoners. We are also introduced to other characters who will be revealed along the way. I'm not sure I will like this series because at this point she is so volatile and unlikable.
