A classic.

Kingdom gets a nasty surprise when he collects a prisoner, an old rogue with a dicky heart, and a possessive family.

Best episode of the show to date, this was fantastic, more what I was expecting this show to be about, gritty, gripping, energetic, full of villains. A real story of Cops and robbers.

To my knowledge this was the first episode to be shot on film, that gives it a very unique, different look, it actually feels more like a feature film, pacing is a lot quicker, the music more dramatic. It's an action packed episode. They really did raise the bar with this one, visuals, story etc.

Alison King is great as Betty Roper, she's a real old school villain, and a very unique, menacing character, she was good here.

I can't help but wonder how subsequent episodes are going to compare to this one.

Great episode, 9/10.
