Ellis (2024) TV Thread

[Donna]

Decent enough TV for a Thursday night.

3 part drama - 2 hours each episode

As a black woman in the police force, she frequently faces underestimation and disregard from her male peers, yet she shines as a "first-class murder detective, with a determination for justice and a deep well of compassion for those who need it".

The series will follow titular character DCI Ellis, who is sent into various police stations to help solve their failing investigations.

Andrew Gower, recognised for his performances in The Winter King, Carnival Row, and Outlander, portrays DS Harper, Ellis's trusted colleague.

In every episode, the duo is tasked with integrating themselves into a new police department, challenging Ellis to gain the trust of the local team.
