This is a British series set in Scotland. Apparently the Scots can't complete a sentence without using the F word at least once.
It is about a detective returning to work after being shot when a gunman attacks a crime scene. Two are wounded and 1 killed.
He is put in a basement and told to investigate cold cases. His supervisor gets millions to set up the department, but he gets nothing.
He and a Syrian computer expert (assigned as his staff) work on the disappearance of an advocate who has been missing for 4 years. It is 9 episodes long and I fast forwarded through a lot.
It is complicated, but I enjoyed it. It is on Netflix.This message has been edited. Last edited by: maxwayne,

I liked it, but was the Syrian a computer expert? I got the vibe he was like "secret police" in Syria or something along those lines before coming to the UK. He's certainly willing and capable of using violence to get answers.

Originally posted by maxwayne: He was working for the Scottish police as some sort of IT person. It is very cloudy as to what he did in Syria.
Pretty sure his job in Syria was founding people who didn't want to be found and possibly making them disappear. Good throat punch to the wannabe gangster kid. I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to season 2.

I watched when it first came out. I got to telling my wife about it and she and I watched it this past weekend. I did enjoy it. Season 2 should be good.
