Karen Pirie - ITV

gmisk

Only watched the first of these episodes (fairly meaty runtime of 1hour 30mins) but it is really solid, interesting story, kind of unforgotten vibes to it.

Adapted by Emer Kenny (Save me too, Harlots) based on the Val McDermid books.

Blurb below.

After the promotion to Police Scotland's Historic Cases Unit, Karen Pirie reopens the cold case of a murdered barmaid. Her investigation unearths flaws in the original 1995 inquiry.

I read that as Katie Price and went wtf has Jordon done to deserve anther show on ITV.

There were moments where I thought that the main actress was trying to channel Saga Noren from Bron (The Bridge) and it just didn't work for me. That aside it was a decent enough series, much stronger than Adrian Dunbar's Ridley.

Oh god is Ridley the Jazz one? Terrible.

I really like it personally the central performance is really good not seen her in anything before.

Your post prompted me to have a look at her wiki, I see she even wrote a bit for Red Rock.
