Manhunt

Who knew Martin Clunes (Doc Martin) could totally inhabit a serious role? He does great work as the nerdly, functional, but hardline detective Colin Sutton who uses statistics, inductive reasoning, and solid old fashioned policing to catch some really horrible killers.

It is quite mediocre, but there are some redeeming qualities. I've never seen a series where the police asked the family of the victim if they wanted to visit the scene where their family member died. Overall, there was a lot of warmth and human decency coming from the main character. I don't know if in reality the detective actually went to France and told the family about the police's mistake, but color me impressed nonetheless. I also appreciated that the seasons didn't drag unnecessarily.
