How this season is filed
Sarah Lancashire's Catherine Cawood polices a hard Yorkshire town while family trauma with Tommy Lee Royce never fully sleeps. Sally Wainwright's crime drama at human scale: compassion without softness. A sergeant who feels like a person, not a brand — moral weather, long gaps, and toughness that still hurts.
