A 91% Rotten Tomatoes score from 11 critics and strong Guardian and Telegraph praise focus consistently on Suranne Jones's performance as one of BBC drama's finest of the decade - controlled, coiled, and fully in command of every register.
Renewal: Series 1 aired 2015, Series 2 aired 2017. A third series has been confirmed for 2026 by the BBC, with Suranne Jones and Bertie Carvel expected to return. (Wikipedia)
