As almost everyone comments, Dougray Scott is brilliant in this police procedural series, which unfortunately flattens out. He is so one with the character, the actor and role seem melded together. But for me the role is almost overcome by the darkness of so much of the story, other characters, and scenes that almost overwhelm the storyline itself. Even moments that attempt a lighter load on the viewers quickly meet the dashing of hope that the story can hold together despite the relentless dark elements. I think this is a mistake on the writer's part that leads to the closure seeming rushed and results in its being flattened out into a cliche ending. It's a shame because there is an important theme and fine presentation on the actors' parts that deserve more from the plot that becomes predictable and then just seems to repeat itself into a tired cliched stop.
