Janine Lewis (Caroline Quentin) has a lot on her plate. Already the mother of three, she’s pregnant again and officially separated from her cheating husband. The fact that her day job is being a Chief Inspector for the Manchester Police Force is, on bad day, the least of her worries. Over the course of 19 episodes, the series does a good job of balancing Lewis’ personal and professional lives. Sure, there are times you feel frustrated when the Chief Inspector’s investigation gets put on hold so she can sort out the kids, but there are also times you feel that way when a domestic problem in the Lewis home gets shelved so mom can go out and catch a killer. Luckily, Quentin holds it together with a tremendous performance.
