In London, a call to police sheds doubt on whether the right man was convicted in the murder of a woman several years previously. A young, Black Detective Sergeant is given the routine task of looking into it, and so she approaches the original investigating officer, DCI Hegarty, ably portrayed by Peter Capaldi. After getting the brush off, she keeps investigating, putting her into conflict with Hegarty. As interesting as the young detective is, the real reason to keep watching is Hegarty – is he a bad cop? A good cop who made a mistake? A good cop who didn’t make a mistake? Peter Capaldi should win an award for the fine acting in this exciting thriller that asks hard questions about racism in policing in London.
