This show's writers got everything right, and this series ought to be a masterclass in how to actually develop characters in a meaningful way without preferred agendas & ideologies getting in the way of the storylines. To summarize the main cast, Clare-Hope Ashitey as 'Charlie' is beautifully written - what matters to her is the Truth and doing her job properly (and nothing much else) and the interaction between her & her Sergeant (Damien Molony, DS Jack Weston) starts out badly but gets better & better as he gets to understand her values are different to his - he tends to leap to conclusions whilst she prefers to see where the evidence leads first. Fay Ripley (DI Martha Bellamy) holds the team together superbly as well - never overstepping the mark, but not taking too much of Jack's BS at the same time.
I can't say too much without giving things away, but suffice it to say that until the final season, each episode is usually a complete storyline - there are exceptions, but not too many - which is also a good thing as these days far too many shows have a story arc that does not resolve at the end of Season 1, and when it gets cancelled before Season 2 leaves the viewer with the feeling that he has just wasted 10 hours of his life on it (I am talking to YOU, Amazon Prime).
The final season is a shocker from the first episode, and closes the series in a superb way.
Highly recommended.
