Nicola Walker is Annika in this new crime drama for the Alibi channel.
Originally from Norway. Annika has been promoted and is the new DI at the Maritime Homicide Unit in Scotland.
Just in time as a body has been fished out with a harpoon through his eye. It seems the dead man was an owner of a whale watching boat that had been involved in an incident where a female passenger died.
In the first episode, Annika has to deal with the murder, her new teammates, a hostage situation involving one of her officer's and a moody teenage daughter. She hates her new home and school.
The episode has Annika talking to the camera in a droll manner, mainly about Moby Dick.
There are so many British crime dramas these days. The present day ones all seem to become indistinguishable. The last one set in Scotland I saw had bits filmed in Bolton, which in a funny way made it stand out.
This one has the piece to camera. It was passable, there was a twist concerning the dead victim. The scenery was nice concerning Annika's home but the first episode did not blow me away.
