It feels like a golden time for police dramas: you only have to look at Happy Valley hype to see that. Hot off the explosive end of that show, BBC has lined up another gritty cop drama called Better.
It’s got all the requisite parts: a strong female lead with Leila Farzad (fans of Sky’s I Hate Suzie will recognise her as long-suffering friend and ex-agent Naomi), a drug lord played by Andrew Buchan (This England, The Crown, Broadchurch), and a packed first episode.
