A great detective series from the BBC. Interesting and well-developed characters, inventive artistry, and excellent narrative. While I enjoyed the story line of season 1 more, I was intrigued by the way the writers wove together plots and backstories in season 2. Many of the episodes are brutal and emotionally heavy, but that's to be expected in a crime show. Marvelous performances by David Tennant and Olivia Colman.
