With a serial killer on the loose and crime scenes reminiscent of old ones from days gone by, the investigation team have no choice but to call in their old friend DS Marcella Backland. However, as Marcella partakes in the investigation, it becomes clear that she is having problems of her own.

The troubled detective soon finds herself caught up in the murder of her husband’s lover and, because she suffers from blackouts, she us unable to remember what happened. Conflict galore. This disturbing ITV/Netflix drama from Hans Rosenfeldt is like no other, and it often has us hiding behind our cushions, but a compelling protagonist and an unpredictable script make Marcella unmissable viewing. You won’t see the ending coming!
