Better – the new BBC crime thriller from the very same people who brought us Chernobyl. Have a first look at the series...
, Better spins an epic tale about loyalty, family, and the human conscience as it charts corrupt police officer DI Lou Slack’s desperate battle for redemption.
Her mission? To bring down Col McHugh, who rules the criminal underworld of Leeds with an iron fist. The same man that she loves like a brother. The same man that, some 19 years ago, she struck a deal with that helped him become very rich and very powerful, and helped her to turn around her failing career.
Judging by our first look at the duo, though, there is something of a power imbalance in this relationship; indeed, the framing of the shot makes it look much more like Lou has struck up a deal with the devil himself than an ordinary man.As per the BBC’s official synopsis, Col and Lou share “a complex but special bond” – albeit one that has caused Lou to slide, however gradually, into corruption.
“Now, when Lou’s family is brought to the brink of a tragedy, she must right the wrongs that she has spent years rationalising and excusing, in order to have a second chance at a new, better life.”However, a new shot of Col – shrouded in darkness and his expression unreadable as he stares out of a window – makes it all too clear that he will not take kindly to Lou turning on him.
Will she survive her attempt to wipe her own slate clean? We guess we will have to wait to find out…Sign up for the latest news and must-read features from Stylist, so you don't miss out on the conversation.
