Karen is a refreshingly normal and charmingly unfashionable young woman. While she is not slick or a maverick cop, her quick mouth and ingenuity make her an impressive investigator. Following her promotion to Police Scotland's Historic Cases Unit, Karen is tasked with reopening the investigation into a murder that has been the subject of a provocative true crime podcast. When teenage barmaid Rosie Duff was stabbed to death in 1995, suspicion fell on the three drunken students who discovered her body. But despite police suspicion, the boys were never charged. Nearly 25 years on, DS Karen Pirie is determined to uncover what happened that fateful night. Do the men know more than they previously revealed? When Karen uncovers flaws in the initial investigation, she finds herself in conflict with the very officers who led the original hunt for the killer.

Stumbled upon this beauty of a show. Watched the first Season so far, absolutely loved it.
Looks like only "three episodes", but in fact each is 90mins long - so more like six regular episodes.

Main character is unique, funny and quirky - just the right combination of it. Supporting cast is well balanced and keeps everything fresh and exciting.

I especially like how the show is structured. They have found a really nice way to balance the story of the case, how it was investigated back then and how it is investigated right now.

Fortunately I discovered this show with the release of Season 2, three more episodes to go smile
(Unfortunately three years inbetween Seasons yikes)

Spoiler

The old "cop cover up" was a bit disappointing and feels almost clichée by now, but that's about the only thing I found a bit weak.
But on the plus side, they didn't show him trying to cover anything up or loosing control of himself or anything like that.

Deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier

I agree a good series and the second series is better than the first imho.

Everything already said, and I also appreciate that she is a bit harsh.
