Better had viewers underwhelmed as the BBC One thriller aired on Monday night.
BBC One's gritty new Leeds -based crime drama aired tonight (February 13). The new five-part thriller follows the life of DI Lou Slack, played by Leila Farzad, and her battle to find redemption. For her, it will hopefully come in the shape of bringing down Col McHugh, played Andrew Buchan, who previously she came to care for like a brother to her but is now head of a Leeds criminal underworld.
The first episode of Better, which is set and shot entirely in Leeds and West Yorkshire, aired tonight as viewers hoped it would fill in for the popular series which finished earlier this month, Happy Valley. But viewers didn't seem to think the new Better police officers had a patch on Sarah Lancashire as they were left underwhelmed.
