Matt Roush says...
Celebrated stage actress Sharon D Clarke brings a steely gravitas to the title role of a no-nonsense British procedural, returning for a second season of two two-part mysteries. The opener sends DCI Ellis and her sidekick DS Chet Harper (Andrew Gower) several hundred miles into the North England countryside to help an understaffed local constabulary solve the murder of a local millionaire. The victim’s altruistic but controversial program of hiring people with a criminal record for his garden center had created tension in the community, but it also provides a wide range of suspects.
