Above Suspicion
Although the series as a whole was axed by ITV, in a interview on 9th September 2013 Lynda La Plante said there would be another 4 Above Suspicion stories produced and they were just waiting for Kelly Reily to become available for filming.,Featured in Crime Connections: Episode #1.2 (2012),Kelly Reilly as a DC. Newest one in the office, barks orders to her superiors, wears skin tight tops and high heels when everyone else is in Brit cop garb. Needs a haircut, looks more like a hooker. Ciaran Hines as the Guv. His acting is all over the place. intensity turns to shouting like he's in a barroom brawl. She's caught in several instances of being totally unprofessional, and voila' she's back at her desk in a day. The plot-lines seem to be just for sensationalism and are mostly the only things that kept me watching for 2 of the 4 seasons, but I turned it off at the end of 2. It went from improbable to impossibly silly. No real police behave like these clowns. I've seen over the top British cop shows - like No Offense. Loved it. I think the only reason it's rated as highly as it is, is because it's British TV, and there are a lot of followers of the genre, good, bad, and indifferent. This one is just bad. The operative word is "cringe-worthy".,
