Rent Ellis: Series 1 (2024)

DCI Ellis (Sharon D. Clarke) is the last hope for failing investigations. Armed with integrity and razor-sharp instincts, she takes over challenging cases across England's rural north, often facing resistance from the local police. But her unflappable demeanour disguises a deep-seated sympathy for the victims, fuelled by her complicated past and unrelenting drive for justice. As a Black female cop, Inspector Ellis is used to being dismissed and overlooked, but remains focused on her work as a first-class murder detective, driven by a determination for justice and a deep well of compassion for those who need it.
