Unforgotten’s Jess and Sunny are TV’s best detective duo ...Middle East

News by : (inews) -

Not that writer Chris Lang made it easy for Cassie fans to like her: Jess was cold, abrupt and dismissive of Sanjeev Bhaskar’s placid DI Sunny Khan, who was still grieving the loss of his detective partner. However, the coppers eventually bonded over their equally miserable private lives. Jess’s “dirtbag husband” Steven had been having an affair with her sister, while Sunny’s partner Sal had decamped after losing their baby.

The dismembered torso is soon followed by a severed leg and eventually the name of the victim, a publican called Gerry Cooper. In the usual Unforgotten fashion, we are introduced to four wildly disparate suspects: an Afghan refugee, Asif (Elham Ehsas), an autistic conspiracy theorist, Marty (Maximillian Fairley), a harassed university lecturer, Juliet (Victoria Hamilton), and Melinda (MyAnna Buring), a right-wing shock jock on a GB News-style TV channel. Melinda’s fiancé has recently had a life-changing accident and she’s already exchanging meaningful glances with his physiotherapist.

Hamilton is particularly good here as a widowed lecturer battling with a student who has complained that her reading list is “too white” (the student herself is white). Told to join a union-run “microaggression course”, she tells her supervisor that the union can “shove its smug idiotic purity bannering up its big fat arse.”

But what really keeps this prestige drama on the road is the central relationship between Jess and Sunny. They now share the same collegiate bond that Sunny enjoyed with Cassie – indeed, he’s even able to joke about her dirtbag husband’s cooking. The rest of the team are also appealing, especially Carolina Main as Fran and Jordan Long as the sort of old-school cockney copper who are a dying breed in other TV police dramas.

‘Unforgotten’ continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV1
