The Bletchley Circle S01E01 (ITV, 2012)



My limit for wimmin detectives is Miss Marple.

I think the last US show I watched with a female 'tec was... Profiler. No, wait: it was Cold Case. No, wait a minute - it was The Closer. No, wait wait wait: ....

The lame point I'm trying to make is that all the US shows have pretty Californian(-type) blondes. They're interchangeable. The Bletchley Circle, God bless the Beeb UK telly, has real-life looking women. With brains. And common sense.

This is worth a gander. And based on the strength of the pilot, worth more than Vera and its silly writing (which has been renewed for a third season FOR FUCK'S SAKE).
