DI Ray is a British South Asian detective struggling to succeed in a world in which her sex and color put her in a minority on most teams. Parminder Nagar returns as DI Ray; Gemma Whelan s DCI Kerry Henderson, and more. In season 2, DI Rachita Ray is promoted to work on a homicide investigation. She suspects she's been chosen for her ethnicity rather than her ability.
Season 2 premieres Sunday, June 16th, on PBS and PBS Masterpiece. There will be 6 episodes.
Adrian Scarborough stars as DI Max Arnold, a recently-separated police officer who lives on an old houseboat while holding out hope that he’ll get back together with his wife. He's clever, determined, and perhaps most importantly, he doesn't care about wealth or status when it comes to getting justice. Raised by a local bookshop owner, he's a life-long Chelsea resident – but not part of the elite class of people who make up most of the neighbourhood.

This series is based on The Whitstable Pearl Mysteries by Julie Wassmer. There are more Whitstable Pearl novels in the series, so hopefully there will be more seasons of Whitstable Pearl. I really enjoy the series. Pearl is a restauranteur and former police detective who because of her first case, becomes a P.I. All this in a charming British seaside town.
You can still watch Season 1 of Whitstable Pearl on Acorn TV in the UK and the US.
Whitstable Pearl Season 1 follows Pearl Nolan (Kerry Godliman), who runs a successful seafood restaurant in her hometown of Whitstable in Kent but really misses being a detective. When she comes across the dead body of her friend Vinnie, she sets herself up as a PI and teams up with out-of-town detective DCI Mike McGuire (Howard Charles) to solve Vinnie’s death and other murders in the picturesque seaside town.
Professor T: Every aspect of Professor Jasper Tempest's life is precisely calibrated and rigidly structured. Impeccably dressed and meticulously punctual, he lectures daily at the Cambridge Institute of Criminology, teaching students imaginatively, if pedantically, about the science of crime. Each evening, he returns home to his apartment, which is as sterile and systematically ordered as a science lab.
You can watch Season 1 on PBS Passport and PBS Masterpiece.
More news to come!!
As Traces
returns, we catch up with Emma Hedges four months after the events of
series 1. Her mother’s murderer has been arrested and hopefully closure
is just within reach, but you'll need to watch to find out.
She’s no longer a lab assistant, but training to be a forensic chemist at the Scottish Institute for Forensic Science and Anatomy (SIFA). The series gets off to an explosive start with not one, but two, bombings in the first episode alone. Emma is helping her colleagues investigate this string of bombings going off around Dundee, with the motive not immediately clear.
Traces is a suspense-filled crime thriller based on an original idea by best-selling crime writer Val McDermid (Wire In The Blood, A Place Of Execution), written by Amelia Bullmore and Val McDermid and set in the world of forensic science in Dundee, Scotland.
If you decide to watch Traces, I recommend watching Season 1 first. It's important to know all the players and what has preceded in the storyline. I love the science is this excellent production.
