Looking Good Dead
Season 2, Episode 1
Det Supt Roy Grace suspects the sudden death of a former schoolteacher in a respectable Brighton backwater may not be the drugs overdose it first appears. When human remains are discovered in a field, he and Branson are drawn into an investigation that will test their abilities and their friendship to breaking point. Though each case initially appears to be an isolated incident, Grace's instinct leads him to believe both deaths are the work of a twisted, sadistic serial killer. Crime drama, starring John Simm
