I found it lacking in oomph and it was rather slow and steady.
Also quite unrealistic regarding the lead character played by Morven Christie. Why on earth would an experienced and by all accounts excellent detective not excuse herself from a case after finding out she had a one night stand with a married suspect?? It's not as though she committed a crime! She...as a single woman on a night out...had sex! Big deal, so what! She acted as though she had broken the law and her covering up of this non existent offence set the standard for the series.
Below average drama. ITV can do...and have done...much better!
Edit: Second series was much better. More dramatic and more exciting. Very good second series, loved it!
