A Promising Series
THE LAST DETECTIVE is a British police drama that manages to combine gritty drama with a surprisingly deft comedic touch. Peter Davison is known derogatorily as Dangerous Davies, a detective who is purposively undangerous in intent but the vagaries of each episode seem determined to entrap him in unwanted peril. In "Tricia" the third episode of the series, we already have the essentials, DC Davies is low man on the police totem pole. His boss refuses to give him any case other than the worst ones, none wanted by Davies' peers. Tricia (Eleanor David) was robbed in her flat by two intruders whom she cannot identify as they pushed her face down on her floor and kept her there. She goes to the police who quickly decide that her case is unsolvable. Guess who gets this loser? Davies does who tries hard to be kind and understanding to one who has been victimized twice, once by the perps and again by what she sees as an uncaring constabulary. The tone of the episode begins lightly but by the second half, it switches to a jarring suspense caused by a more than slightly crazed paranoid who brings to mind Glen Close from FATAL ATTRACTION. The viewer easily sympathizes with DC Davies as he seeks only to maintain his own equilibrium in a job that demands disequilibrium from all officers concerned. THE LAST DETECTIVE promises to be eminently watchable.
