I enjoy watching most of the UK dramas and police shows. Broadchurch, Scott & Bailey, Shetland, The Fall, Line of Duty, Doctor Foster, The Killing......'Marcella' was no exception. But I have to admit it started off very strong in Season 1, and waned slightly by the end of Season 3, still good though. [spoiler]Anna Friel (whom I've never seen prior to this show) does a great job of showing the struggle of between being a loving mother, loving your career, having a cheating husband, and facing an unwanted divorce. It's enough to drive you crazy and Ms. Friel does a great job portraying this well. All of this is solidified in Season 1, making the character prepared to handle deceased kids, political pressure, and more troubles that hit close to home in Season 2. So close, in fact, 'Marcella' seems to be pushed to the edge of no return. Season 3 picks up a few years later, with a new 'Marcella' (now Keira), working deep undercover in a different city, after many people, including family, friends, and co-workers attended her funeral. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]The show was able to keep my interest and I would love to see a Season 4. I do find it possible, but not probable, that a female that doted on her children as much as 'Marcella' did in Season 1 would just up and leave them 1-2 years later, evening letting them believe she'd died! I find that a little too hard to go long with. [/spoiler] I would still definitely recommend this show.
