No Offence, the British series about a group of Manchester police, has the police facing the loss of one of their own in season3. She was a favorite of mine as well. Big spoiler ahead.

No Offence, season 2, carries on with the same group of hardworking Manchester police we met in season 1. Joanna Scanlan as DI Vivienne Deering runs the place with somewhat unorthodox panache. The overarching crimes of the season involve young children stolen from the child welfare system and put to work in illegal ways.

No Offence is a cop drama from the UK. It features a group of Manchester police who are dedicated to the job, but have interesting and sometimes funny lives as well.

Review: Unforgiven (2009)

6 Comments / TV series / By Virginia DeBolt / July 6, 2016 / David Prosho, Douglas Hodge, Emily Beecham, Faye McKeever, Flora Spencer-Longhurst, foreign tv series, George Costigan, Happy Valley, Jack Deam, Jemma Redgrave, Karen Lewis, Last Tango in Halifax, Matthew McNulty, Nicola Shindler, Nina Sosanya, Peter Davison, Sally Wainwright, Scott and Bailey, Siobhan Finneran, Suranne Jones, Unforgiven, Will Mellor

Unforgiven, the Unforgiven I’m talking about, is not a Western. It’s a 3 part drama from 2009 and the BBC starring Suranne Jones. I wandered into a conversation about it on Twitter with @gingesbecray and learned that not only does it star Suranne Jones – really all the recommendation a series needs – but it was written by Sally Wainwright.
