DCI Banks: Aftermath: Part 1 (2010)
Season 1, Episode 1
8/10
Not great but not dreadful!
26 May 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Story starts out with a domestic abuse call that goes incredibly wrong (as sometimes happens...a police officer once told me that 'domestic' calls are the ones that can be the most dangerous as they never know what they may find). The two responding officers find an unconscious woman and then check the cellar to find a man with a machete who kills one officer before being subdued. Turns out they found a wanted serial killer/rapist by accident, along with all the gruesome details and dead bodies. Not pleasant.

Other reviewers found this 'dreadful'...sorry but life is not always pleasant. A decent enough start to the series although I don't like when Banks and the internal affairs (sorry, American term) investigator go out for drinks and end up back at his flat. Two professionals most likely would not do such a thing (one might try it but two?) as the possible side effects professionally would be too much!

I will watch some more as I like Stephen Tompkinson as an actor (Ballykissangel) and generally like to watch more than one episode of a series before I make a decision.
