We might feel sorry for newcomer DCI Jessica James, although she might be just as obnoxious without her husband's revelation. But I watch this for the interesting mysteries, not to have to put up with mean main characters. At least the writers are acknowledging the loss of. DCI Stuart. Having James start out disparaging Stuart's managing the unit is a turn-off. I expect all the many characters in this first episode will somehow tie together by the end- but I don't know if it will be worth subjecting myself to the way James treats Sunny. (I'm repeating myself to get to the required number of characters). Surely the writers could have managed interesting cases without a new DCI who treats everyone like dirt.
