Rellik is Killer spelled backwards. When a vagrant is washing car windows in standing traffic, DCI Markham (Richard Dormer) explains to his partner why he might be dodging cars to do this for a few quid. Markham points to the marks in his arms, he is looking for money so he could score drugs, go back far enough you might find out why he needed to do drugs in the first place.
That explains the concept of the series.
The first episode has police marksmen gunning down a man named Steven Mills, he has blood in his face, he is outside a school in a distressed state and is a suspect in deaths of seven people involving acid.
The story goes back to some hours in time where we see events leading up to this point but it just leads to more puzzlement and maybe more suspects.
DCI Markham is disfigured in an acid attack, are these scars recent or has he been injured for some time? Anyhow Markham thinks Mills may not be the culprit. He suspects a female in prison who is also disfigured in an acid attack to be involved somehow with the killings. There is a suspiciously acting psychiatrist, a wealthy man leaving on the plane when all the mayhem is going on.
The first episode was dense, confusing but stylishly done. I think I will stick with this on BBC1 as it has more depth than the Williams Brothers other drama, Liar being shown on ITV on the same night and time as this.
