Edge of Darkness

A father and daughter are leaving their house when a masked gunman shouts out their name before firing both barrels of a shotgun at them. The daughter dies. The father, a police detective, lives but is haunted by the guilt that it was him that the killer was after. Or was it? As the investigation into the crime moves along, the father soon starts discovering things about his daughter that he never knew, things that make him realize she was the target that fateful night. Now he’ll do whatever he can to bring her killers to justice. This six-part BBC series is a real nail-biter thanks to some terrific performances, particularly Bob Peck as the detective and Joe Don Baker as the shady American operative.
