Detective Harry Virdee desperately tries to track down a vicious killer, one with sadistic methods.
First of all, some of these reviews, I have to question if they're based on the whole series, or ten minutes of episode one.
If you're missing Luther, this may just give you your much missed fix, there are certain similarities, it's high octane, action packed, gritty, violent, and we have a charismatic, maverick Cop.
Stick with it is my advice, it's perhaps a little slow to get going, but when it does, it transforms into a gritty, addictive series. Episode 4 sees a big switch up, that's where it really does hit top gear.
Expect plenty of violence, and a couple of grim sequences, I haven't actually seen scenes like this on The BBC since the last run or Luther.
Bradford, The City of Culture plays a huge part, and it looks exactly what it is, a working class, Northern City.
Staz Nair is excellent as Virdee, and if you're a fan of handsome guys, there's no shortage here! At times Aysha Kala really is the star of the show, and Saima is a truly fascinating character, although there's no shortage of those, Harry's father and brother in law, Riaz both play a big part.
I just wish Elizabeth Berrington had played a more active role, such a talented actress, she seems to get better and better.
9/10.
