This is a decent crime drama with a bit of a twist.
The characters are well written and interesting with good acting and dialogue.
My main objection is to Baba, who's playing a black immigrant with a dodgy past, seemingly happy to kill for the first vaguely attractive blonde (Freddy) to give him some attention.
In a country that's divided with half of the people here seeming to think that immigrants are 'the problem' - whatever, they perceive that to mean - programmes like this only serve to reinforce negative stereotypes and stoke irrational fears.
Bad people are all races and genders, of course, but this just feels a bit icky to me.
The female detective Lola is the most miserable, energy drain of a person ever, an imminently unlikeable character with no warmth who I didn't much warm to. It's like she's had every ounce of joy sucked clean out of her.
With those negatives though, this remains a well-paced drama that's interesting enough and keeps you interested.
The underlying premise of the show is the nature vs nurture debate which examines how psychopaths can become monsters.
