A police squad investigates a serial killer who sewed body parts from six different victims into one body. The squad receives a letter with six additional names. The last name on the list is DS Nathan Rose (Henry Lloyd-Hughes), a member of the squad, who is haunted by his past. DI Emily Baxter is the leader. DC Lake Edmonds (Lucy Hale) is the American lesbian newbie.
This is a British-American police crime show. It's trying very hard to be edgy and dark. It comes off poorly and then the squad splits in two when Nathan lies to a suspect about something personal to him. It makes no sense. I know British justice is a little different but the argument makes no sense. Do criminals get released for something like that in Britain? There's also the suspect's partner. It makes no sense to release her. I would believe more in a deal for a shorter prison sentence. These characters are broadly drawn to the point of being just badly written. The worst is probably Lake who gets very annoying at times. She's basically not a cop as a character except for her investigating. This is problematic writing. Someone is trying too hard. I don't know if there will another season. It won't be on top of my to-do list.
