Viewers were given two separate warnings on the content of Karen Pirie as the chilling new ITV drama kicked off on Sunday night.
After weeks of adverts teasing its arrival on screen, the new three part series finally made its debut this weekend, following hot on the heels of Line of Duty star Adrian Dunbar's drama Ridley. ITV are of course experts on the Sunday night drama, going back to the 90s hey day of Heartbeat and then, of course, Vera, which has now been on television for over a decade and high octane Vicky McClure thriller Trigger Point which had people on the edges of their seats earlier this year.
Now it's the turn of Karen Pirie to have the nation hooked as we all look for something to get stuck into now the nights are drawing in. Three part murder series Karen Pirie is NOT a true story, as many viewers may have assumed; instead, it is based on the best selling novel of much loved crime writer Val McDermid.
