Loved the first episode in the new ITV drama series "Marcella" A real gritty start with a couple of story lines to follow including Marcella's personal life with her husband.
If you have read the Sebastian Bergman books by Hans Rosenfeldt / Michael Hjorth and seen "The Bridge" then you can see where the ideas are coming from, a typical Scandi Noir feeling to the plot which I just love.
The only thing that spoiled it for me was the "Wooden" acting of Andrew Lancell who seems to play the same part in anything he has appeared in. The face does not move, no expression whatsoever. Apart from that a (so far) excellent casting with strong performances from Anna Friel,(just like The Bridge's Saga Norén) Ian Puleston-Davies, Sinead Cusack, Patrick Baladi, Harry Lloyd and Maeve Dermody all playing great parts and strong acting
Looking forward to the next Five episodes in Season 1
