The story is straightforward. Two police officers investigating a potential crime are blown up by a car bomb, and the police have to investigate and apprehend the perpetrators who have committed other crimes. The two words to describe what happens next, are "slow burn". This is one of those only rare stories where forensics are as important as the actual investigation. As one would hope, the viewer needs to get to know all of the characters as intimately as possible, and this exercise of turning the characters into a team is done very well and very slowly. By the end we know each of the characters. The one female is very well acted and is totally believable. Instead of herself becoming, so to speak, one of the boys she retains her femininity and becomes a very useful part of the team. There is a moral side to the story which means that the detective in charge, must prepare for the trial and face inevitable criticism for seeming to cut corners.
A very unexpected ending whereby all of the work of the investigators and forensics gels and for me, gets an unexpected, grown up result.
My only reason for not giving it 10 stars was because as usual, and its my age, I couldn't always hear what the actors were saying.
