Umm what to say about this series, as usual I found McDonald and Dodds quite by accident, I watched the first episode of season1 and almost binned it after that first one, it was as usual in the 2020's a woke production, the DCI is a female and black, boxes were clearly ticked in this series, there were all sorts of other types with lesbian woman and intimated gay interaction.
But something made me watch the next episode as the production was good, scenery was good, but the led playing DCI McDonald is either a really bad actress or just hamming it up for laughs, but I do not like her or her character, and find her really irritating.
She is too much bigging her self up, while the "real" detective is very much Dodds an unassuming man in his twilight years and forgotten by the Police, and it seems never given the gratitude he most clearly warrants.
After 2 episodes I really hope this doesn't descend into more of the same, time will tell.
