Annika is quirky with the main character talking directly to the audience, and I think Nicola Walker is an excellent actor, but this show needs better writing! Foot chases in almost every episode; Annika falling into bed with her daughter's therapist, and Annika turning her back on an obviously violent and agitated murder suspect! All this makes these police detectives look really foolish, and it also makes this show much less believable. Maybe season two will be better thought out and written. I hope so!
