This is the sort of gritty, realistic crime drama that only the BBC seems able to do well. Set in an English town, it concerns a police-woman's quest to bring down the man who raped her daughter, and a disgruntled accountant's ill-conceived plan to make money from his boss, with consequences that go quickly from bad to dire. If you're not on the edge of your seat by episode 3, there's something wrong with you.

Worth watching, keeps attention, some good acting. If you liked Fargo on TV then will like this. Similar (in some ways) sort of shows.

Sarah Lancashire is brilliant. Great show! I only started watching because a friend recommended it - so pleased I took their advice.
