DCI Banks is realistic and raw that's for sure. It deals with the foibles of the police and their commitment to solve murders at any cost. This is a solid start to the six season run of DCI Banks.
Some reviewers weren't happy with the very downbeat nature of Aftermath. I guess the politically incorrect nature of the episode isn't for everyone, but it's real and raw. Really, an episode of Inside No. 9 deals with far more gruesome themes.
Talking of which, great to see Monica Dolan, who several years later guest starred in one of the most memorable Inside No. 9 episodes, Once Removed. She also starred in the revival of Talking Heads, and you can imagine her DCI Banks character regaling her tale in Talking Heads.
