D.I. Ray

No hanging about, straight in to the action which engages from the start and piques the interest. It's an ok story, Birmingham is a different choice of venue so made a refreshing change from London. A bit predictable in places, but easy enough to watch.

The lead character highlights the low and not so low level racism inherent across English society in a measured and realistic way. On the downside the story is a bit thin and leads boss is very annoying (as they always seem to be in British police dramas).

A good British police drama which to be fair isn't bad . Really worth the watch and don't be put off by negative reviews and I hope that DI Ray returns for another series.

I liked this series because of the way it showed up everyday racism and prejudice in society and the police force. I'm not Asian so the fact that I sympathized with DI Ray's struggles as a British Asian woman says a lot for the acting and writing. Parminder Nagra brought her character to life with an understated performance that showed how she dealt with everyday prejudice starting in the grocery store and onto her work colleagues.

Was really enjoying it then it seemed to speed up and come to an end?

Could have been a couple more episodes between 3 and 4.

Hope it returns for a second season.
