Marcella gives me exactly what I want from detective tv-series - surprising plot twists, leading characters which are not stereotypical, and a storyline with cliffhangers that make me want to binge watch the whole season in one weekend. I could see the similarities with The Bridge in Marcella, but it's not too too obvious. The acting is goid and it is never clear from the beginning who the murderer is - anything could happen. What other reviewers see as "holes in the plot" I see as storylines to explore in future seasons. This is a good TV series for those who dont't like having the answers to every mystery served to them on a plate in small, tasteless chunks.
***Spoiler alert***
I especially like the ending of the second season, it transforms Marcella from a detective into a comic book type of hero - very cool.
