Series: A dark eye on London

The new Anna Friel-led thriller Marcellaproves that we're still in thrall to the gloomy Nordic noir that first became popular five years ago with The Killing. As the work of Hans Rosenfeldt, creator of The Bridge, it even bears the stamp of Swedish TV royalty. The drama's components are strikingly familiar - a cop, forced out of the game for several years after botching a still-unsolved murder investigation, is tempted back when the killer resumes his (or her) wicked ways.
