A tenacious detective is sent to struggling police stations to take over difficult investigations, working with a local partner who gradually earns her respect. Each feature-length case unfolds in a new setting, where she must navigate community suspicion, workplace problems, possible corruption, and the challenges of winning over unfamiliar officers.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy atmospheric British mysteries, prickly detectives, morally complex cases, and patient storytelling like Dalgliesh or Vera; Not for you if you want fast pacing, constant action, or highly serialized drama.
