Kate Winslet is great in plain, grumpy, no nonsense mode as detective in toxic community. Potentially about a girl who has disappeared a year ago, but then another young girl is murdered... Kate's back story emerges gradually. Mood lightens with well-meaning detective drafted in from another county, Evan Peters.
Then the plot takes a daft turn when she plants some heroin on her dead son's wife. The police commissioner works out it was her immediately, and she's suspended. Then the action ramps up spectacularly in episode 5, directed - as are they all - by Craig Zobel.
With Angourie Rice, Guy Pearce, Julianna Nicholson, Jean Smart, Jophn Douglas Thompson
I keep thinking watching this that the original version of The Killing / Forbrydelsen (2007) was very influential.
Title is stupid. Well, try it yourself. "Nick of Reading." Seven hour long episodes for HBO. Good, well written series
