correll-66294 I actually like the cast of this series and I might have given it an 8 if it wasn't for the sickening and gratuitous violence against women. Men don't get murdered anymore or mutilated women is just too inviting. So sick of the lack of imagination and total reliance on sex and violence.

SnoopyStyle Anna Travis (Kelly Reilly) is a new police detective. Her first day does not go well as a decomposing body is discovered. Her new boss DCI Langton (Ciarán Hinds) is her late father's mate. The dead woman is related to a whole series of dead women and a possible serial killer. American acting star Alan Daniels becomes the prime suspect. She begins a relationship with him and also investigates him.This starts well with an adorable Reilly stumbling through her first day. Hinds is a great mentor character. These two characters have the potential for building a great police procedural. There is no mystery with only one main suspect. The other problem is that Anna goes from zero to a hundred in a flash. She's completely incompetent in the first ten minutes and she quickly turns into one of the best detectives. The show is over-extended and the flirtations between Travis and Langton are really creepy considering his relationship with her. He's basically a creepy uncle. It would be better to eliminate his connection to her father.

Tweekums When film star Amanda Delany is found murdered it isn't long before DI Anna Travis, DCS James Langton and the team are on the case. As is usual there are plenty of suspects and more than one possible motive; Amanda was no stranger to the tabloids because of her varied love life, it soon becomes apparent that she used drugs and she is keeping a diary with the intent of publishing it. As the investigation continues more people start to die; suggesting it might have something to do with her past rather than more recent events. Away from the investigation there is tension in the team as Langton is convinced that one of his team leaked information about a botched operation which cost him his promotion.This was another enjoyable story in Linda La Plante's latest Franchise; it might not match 'Prime Suspect' but it is still pretty good. This is largely down to Ciarán Hinds portrayal of the gruff DCS Langton and his chemistry with Kelly Reilly's DI Travis. There are enough suspects and motives and a few twists to keep the viewer guessing till the end… always good in a mystery!

Rhysoedwards I must say, that Above Suspicion was very good and very entertaining.It was reasonably disturbing, frightening, humorous, dramatic and gripping all at the same time. I have not read the books, so my opinion of this adaption may be false, yet i see no strong fault in this TV drama at all! I was a little confused by how the main character Travis was portrayed, as for the woman who is supposed to be the star of the show, it wasn't shown particularly well, neither by the writers or the actress.In fact, the star of the show was Jason Durr with his complex rising actor abused by his mother and the prostitutes that occupied the brothel she ran when he was a child. Even before the interview sequence where the horrid maniac that his character turns out to be is revealed he is still the most watchable actor in the entire show.Trually a talented man on a very good drama.Fantastic.R.
