Expectations
This is another Juliet Bravo that has two parallel storylines. It is an early work from write Paula Milne who has written for both UK and US television as well as feature films.
Inspector Darbley has a new recruit with an officer in secondment. WPC Hannah Maynard was inspired to join the police by Darbley herself as she came to give a talk once.
However when out on the beat with PC Bentley she goes off grid. When she deals with two shoplifting punks, she finds out that breaking protocol and basic training could land you in bother.
The same goes for Tom Darblay as he gets to grips at being a social worker. He too has had a setback when dealing with a case of a woman who is beaten by her husband.
Tom has been taking more work on but finds out that he really is not making much of a difference, just being buried in paperwork.
Somehow I really did not find this all very exciting. The focus was more on the social work than police work.
