A new start.

Sam smells a rat when boxer Kevin dies in a prestigious fight. During the post mortem she realizes that Kevin had old injuries, she must have had second sight as a boxer would be bound to pick up injuries.

The usual music is now in place, gone are the old Police team, and in are the new, Ross, Selway and Speed. The original trio were good, I loved these three, particularly Redmond, she was terrific. It's a very slick production.

Idris Elba appears in a somewhat small role, but he's good, his physique is incredible. Even in this role you can see his potential. Wyn is still irritating, hard to believe her and Sam are sisters.

I think this one will be more enjoyable for boxing lovers. It's a good mystery, you just need to suspend your disbelief a little.

Wyn Ryan is a winey pain in the but!

Man, not sure who or why they wrote this character as such a winey brat, but she gets on my nerves. She's always attacking Sam bc she has more than Wyn does, or Sam is responsible for their dad's death or Sam left and now she's back. What a pain in the ass Wyn is. Her son needs help with school and all she does is spend her time telling him he's stupid or dense or too dumb to learn. What a witch. She's a jealous loser who just can't say a nice thing about anyone. If I had a sibling hounding me like that, I would have left too. I may not have come back either.

Boxing Game Investigated

It's a little unclear what Sam is investigating. A boxer dies in a bout after having a bare knuckle match in a dumpster. Same notes that he had previous injuries before getting into the ring. The key is who is responsible because they could be charged, in the very least, with manslaughter. Somehow, some bigwigs think she is poisoning their lucrative well. In the middle of this is a man and his daughter who are proprietors in a boxing camp. He is a quadriplegic after being run down deliberately in the first scene in the shoe. The episode ends with a startling event.
