Series Première 10/9c
SUNDAY: ER’s Parminder Nagra stars in a strong new entry in PBS’s mystery lineup as the title character Rachita Ray, a British-Asian policewoman newly promoted to a Birmingham homicide squad as the four-episode season begins. Her pride is tempered when she begins to realize she may have been hired for diversity optics, which is seemingly confirmed when her first case is labeled a CSH (“culturally specific homicide”). Her boss (Game of Thrones’ Gemma Whelan) doesn’t want to hear her trepidations about shaky evidence involving a Muslim man’s presumed honor killing: “The whole point is that you help us with that, not hinder us.” Battlestar Galactica’s Jamie Bamber (also seen in Acorn’s current Cannes Confidential) co-stars as Ray’s not-so-public love interest, the higher-ranking DCI Martyn Hunter
