What can we expect from the first episode?

After the recent horrors, Swedish detective Hanna and her tiny band of associates must dry their eyes and regroup as they hunt for a cop killer and a treacherous colleague.

Hanna is still in text-only contact with her lover’s informant “Inez”, whom she, understandably enough, thinks is a woman, but we know is in fact her son Chippen. The pair get on much better as text buddies than they do as mother and son (she, you will remember, arrested him for drug-dealing and he was banged up for two years).

Before We Die doesn’t exactly forge a new police drama template, but it’s pacey and Hanna is a good (if flawed, of course) and efficient heroine.
