The first mystery was based on real life events, this second one is totally fictional, Mr Whicher, now outside of The Police takes up a private case, that of a woman who's niece is found dead.
If I'm honest I preferred this to the first one, it's a very dark affair, but benefits massively from the presence of Olivia Colman, she is terrific here, adding some real star quality.
I like how the appearance of Whicher is explained, his character is clever and still respected, but slightly feared by The Police, Paddy Considine is excellent here.
It looks great, it's intriguing, it just works. 8/10.
