Grace, Series 2

by Russell Lewis (ITV, 2022)

More assured, more tonally balanced than the first series. Grace emerges as something of an oddity amongst TV detectives, relying less on a distinct sense of character than on John Simm’s verisimilitudinous inhabiting thereof, adding gravitas to otherwise routine facets of investigation.

Grace, Series 1

by Russell Lewis (ITV, 2021)

Essentially two feature-length pilot episodes where Lewis hasn’t quite decided which facet of John Simm’s character to emphasise (masterful investigator or flakey quasi-widower). The support cast looks promising and the murder scenarios are very much on the dark side—nothing cosy here.
