D.I. Ray

I found the first episode a little slow as we got to no the characters but gave the second episode a watch and am glad I did, the show grew during the second episode and carried on getting better.

Really enjoyed it and the last episode was really good with a great twist at the end (which my wife guessed).

Just give it a go, I hope they make season 2.

I really liked it and in fact watched it in just one sitting. I highly recommend it.

However, it is true that the lead character could have been more expressive and likeable, especially in her interactions with her fiancé in which I saw no chemistry at all and found their acting rather contrived as if they had both signed an agreement so as not to kiss each other on the mouth. It was a bit weird. Other than that, the plot is compelling and racism across British police is superbly portrayed.

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.

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.

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.
