I have been enjoying Andrew Gower's work in Miss Scarlet and the Duke and he's in a new series called #InspectorEllis with the epic Sharon D Clarke.
DCI Ellis is a formidable cop who takes over the most challenging unsolved cases across Northwest England. Her unflappable demeanor disguises a deep-seated compassion for the victims, fueled by her complicated past.
Acorn TV’s new three-part crime drama Inspector Ellis is in the classic mold of engrossing, emotionally nuanced series such as Morse and Dalgleish, with the welcome and long-overdue update of being led by a Black woman. Veteran stage and screen actress Sharon D Clarke brings a compelling mix of tenacity and tenderness to her performance as DCI Ellis.

This is another notable aspect of Inspector Ellis – series creators Paul Logue and Sian Ejiwunmi-Le Berre chose not to establish their protagonist as an entrenched member of a single community, but to make her an itinerant detective sent to help overmatched police departments solve confounding murders. In terms of doggedness and compassion, Ellis is comparable to DS Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire) in Happy Valley ....
I'm only a few minutes into the first episode of #Ellis but I can tell you right now that this series deserved way more than 3 episodes ...
Both Andrew Gower and Sharon D Clarke are exceptional. Their chemistry is kind of amazing and unexpectedly powerful.
I HIGHLY recommend this epicness.
