The Commander

The Commander is a weighty thriller created by Lynda La Plante (Prime Suspect) stars Amanda Burton as Commander Clare Blake, the only female homicide commander at the Metropolitan Police Service. As much as you want to root for a woman, her character is actually quite unlikable, and you’ll find yourself questioning her competency at times. Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville stars in the chilling first episode as Commander Blake’s nemesis and lover.
