ITV we needed more of this.
Detective Sergeant Stone is a complex figure, after upsetting the powers that be, he is moved off to The Missing Person's unit, where civilian colleague Ruth awaits.What a shirt sighted decision by ITV to axe this after just one series. It is compelling viewing, great writing, intelligent cases, and genuinely terrific performances. We were left with a terrific story to tell.
Stone is a fascinating character, from his walk to his blunt honesty. Ruth is equally interesting, sweet, sharp, with a mean punch.
I wonder if this perhaps inspired Unforgotten, it has a similar vibe to it.
It deserved better, 9/10.
score 9/10
