I have no idea what the show was trying to portray but it failed to entertain at the first step. I really cannot see a DCI with 3 kids and 1 on the way running a team as displayed. The show is neither comedy or drama, neither realistic or fantasy, its just a mess with this woman at the centre . It seems to play to the Jonathan Creek model that made Caroline Q well known but just is so overdone that it is IMHO unwatchable. The writing is really so "over the top" in terms of potraying a DCI with issues at home and in her marriage (don't all these dectective series seem to have the same central character) that it just becomes silly. Not recommended unless you are desparate.
