Press
The snappy, gutsy cop show is nearing the peak of series two's main story. With two more episodes to come after tonight, this is the one where the police discover just what horrors they're dealing with in their investigation of crime boss Nora, given cocky swagger by the terrific Rakie Ayola. Every showdown between Nora and justice tornado Viv (Joanna Scanlan) is a thrill. In comparison, the case-of-the-week side-plot at an abortion clinic feels a little pat.
