Less Grim Than the Others

The prior episodes in the franchise were very serious police procedurals, worthy of Lynda LaPlante's oeuvre. This one has elements of farce, despite the subject matter being murder and fraud, it seems less tragic than the crimes in the prior shows.

The other thing is that finally, Clare is not as unsympathetic as in the past. It was always jarring that someone who's worked so hard and put up with so much crap to reach her rank, she was so undisciplined about her love life- the affair with Browning's boyfriend rang particularly false.

It was disappointing that in order to portray a strong woman with an active sex life, LaPlante made Clare too much like a stupid egotistical man with his out of control libido. The corruption and mutual covering up that she engages in was credible - LaPlante's heroines are flawed and very real women- but the seriously stupid affairs were not.

Not as great as the Prime Suspect series, but a cut above most shows, annd Amanda Burton is always worth watching when she's playing a brilliant, iconoclastic woman fighting the usual nonsense and prevailing in a very human way.
