Very good series
Overall this was a very good series. It was very well acted and the investigations were quite interesting. The only thing that gave me pause was the choices the main character made in her personal life. They seemed polar opposite of what someone who had achieved so much in their career would make, partially because the choices had impact on her career. It was a bit unbelievable and took away from my experience in watching the series for me.
This is a great series!
All seasons are good, except the last one. This series should have ended with the 4th season. The 5th is poorly plotted and all the mysteries are easily solved and too far-fetched. If you skip Season Five, you will be entertained. Amanda Burton does a great job as the Commander, and the rest of the cast is good, too.
The commander is not in command
This is a good show, the stories are well written and interesting, but it's hard not to compare it to "Prime suspect" which is superior in every aspect.
The main flaw of the show is the main character, Commander Claire Blake, who doesn't make sense. She has no self-control when it comes to men, and the risks she takes jeopardize her position in the Police force, can get her in trouble with co-workers and bring her public humiliation. This doesn't make sense for a woman in such high rank, and you keep wondering how she even managed to get to this point in her career.
Besides, she doesn't seem tough enough to handle this highly stressful and demanding position. She breaks down often, has panic attacks, takes drugs to combat all that, needs a psychiatrist etc. It seems like she barely manages her job, and not at all in command, like the name of the show suggests.
