Watching this series I was frequently reminded of the Fall and wondered if the writer had seen that series. Same strong central character surrounded by sometimes semi competent colleges . Of course Halifax has a lot more personal baggage than Stella Gibson who seemed to have no life outside her job. Plus of course she is a psychologist not a police Inspector The Fall managed to sustain the suspense better as the villain was part of the acting, whereas in Halifax he was for most of the series a mystery man only seen shooting his rifle. At times it dragged and could perhaps have been a couple of episodes shorter. Not quite sure how the inclusion of LaPaglia was helpful, as he spent a lot of his time on self pity and booze.
Still quite a good dramatic series.
