Identity

The science at the heart of this BBC series is both fascinating and frightening. It’s the story of an elite police team dedicated to solving identity crime, similar to the work done by the cops on all those CSI shows, only with a lot less blood and a lot better acting. Keeley Hawes stars as DSI Martha Lawson, the icy head of the team, and Aidan Gillen plays DI Jon Bloom, her polar opposite when it comes to work, play and everything in-between. There’s a good bit of chemistry between them, but what happens to Lawson and Bloom on a personal level pales in comparison to what they can do with the tiniest bit of information and a few computers.
