Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a lukewarm 6.5 out of 10 from audiences and a short run with a modest audience, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime-drama fans. If you loved Agatha Christie's Poirot or Fargo, start here.
The mood: Dark and gritty.
The pace: 6 seasons and 30 episodes: a long-haul commitment.
What might put you off: Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
A big time investment at 6 seasons.

Family Liaison Officer Lisa Armstrong becomes a little too emotionally involved with a case (to the point where she might compromise it) concerning a pair of missing Morecambe twins to whose distraught parents she is assigned.
