A dead gangster. A newly returned detective. A businessman trying to
stay afloat.
Things seem to be happening in threes in crime dramas lately - qv "The
Killing" - but I bet it's an old trope for crime shows where they want
to be more than just about the case, ma'am.
Chiwetel Ejiofor is the newly returned 'tec with a bullet lodged in his
skull. Christopher Eccleston is an entrepreneur who's set up a legit
business for his shady colleagues to use as a front. And Rafe Spall is
providing an intriguing performance as 'the psycho baddie' - intriguing
in how one dimensional he so far seems to be, as well as the hope
(though there haven't been any hints or clues dropped yet) that there's
more to him than Brion James stares and whiplash expression changes.
Of note to date: ep 2's car chase that devolved to a foot chase that
was actually really exciting - on par, dare I say, with Bigelow's foot
chase in "Point Break".
Must have more.
