Clare Blake (
Amanda Burton) has been working for the London Metropolitan Police for the last 20 years. In that time she has risen to be New Scotland Yard’s highest ranking female officer. She is the commander of the Serious Crime Group. She is also the head of the Murder Review Team. Now this woman could be called terribly ambitious. You might even want to say she is very dedicated to her job. Along the way you could say she has crossed the line with her personal life and her career. This has been a problem of hers in that letting her personal life interfere with her cases and has made her reckless at times. She gets way to involved with her work which clouds her judgement at times and that makes her superiors very nervous.
Blake is a very driven woman, no one can take that away from her, but it can make her reckless at times. It also puts a target on her back if anything goes wrong with a case. It’s hard enough to be a female officer in this day and age but when your also a proven taskmaster well that just makes a persons life even harder.
This series has some great guest stars like
Hugh Bonneville, James D’Arcy, Saskia Reeves, Simon Williams,
Brendan Coyle, Matt Day, Greg Wise, David Patrick O’Hara and
Yorick van Wageningen.
This series was written by Lynda La Plante who created
'Prime Suspect', one of the BBC greats.
Acorn is bringing this series to DVD on January 16th, 2018. The quality of the DVD is excellent and the sights and sounds are fantastic. This will make an excellent addition to your personal library. So sit back and enjoy watching a very determined, very reckless but very qualified woman do a man’s job so to speak. It’s kind of funny when you think about it men always had this arrogant attitude about what women could do and now we find out that they are just as good as men. Enjoy this very entertaining show over and over it’s that good.
