Like other poIice units, AC-12 catches criminaIs-but the offenders it investigates are felIow officers. When a poIice convoy is ambushed, leaving three cops dead and a protected witness seriousIy injured, AC-12 focuses its attention on the one officer who managed to escape the attack unscathed: Detective lnspector Lindsay Denton (KeeIey Hawes, Ml-5, Ashes to Ashes).
Under the direction of Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar, Ashes to Ashes), partners Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott (Martin Compston, The Great Train Robbery, lce Cream Girls) and Detective Constable Kate Fleming (Vicky McCIure, This is EngIand, Broadchurch) begin to put the pieces of the case together. Their investigation takes them ever higher up the poIice hierarchy. HaiIed as "the most enjoyabIe series the BBC has produced in a Iong time" (The Sunday Times, U.K.), the thriller is "Back with a bang" (The DaiIy TeIegraph, U.K.) in this six-part second series. |
