Cage-fighter-cum-forensic-scientist Jack, seems to have mental health problems that may come to the fore as this series progresses. He is clearly a self-harmer: he doesn't cut in the conventional way he just goes out and has a fight (in a cage or as a result of deliberately bumping into bad boys) as a way of releasing pent-up tension. Clarissa seems to be the only one who really knows what makes him tick so no doubt there's yet more back story to be coughed up.
I don't understand how he joined the team after the briefest interview by Leo. Surely for that sort of job he would have to have had background checks.
Jack blagging a job for Clarissa was even more far-fetched.

Shades of the way Nikki was offered her job a while ago. She brought in her Iron Age family's bones to do some work on Leo's computer - was offered the pathologist's job [by Leo] on a 6 month probation, and stayed.:D
I'm very, very confused. Was the female D.I. Imogen? Can't have been because someone would have noticed her finger but all the blondes looked the same to me tonight.

I wonder if we're going to have an over-ambitious, psychotic female detective every week.
Yes, the writers appear to have a very poor opinion of the police, particularly female officers. They are either stupid or corrupt, usually both.
This one is so keen to "fit up" the father that she fabricates a story about damaging important material evidence, right under the noses of the forensic team.

I said exactly the same to my partner. Common theme is also Nikki clashing with them and thinking she knows best, usually to be proven correct in her thoughts, much to my annoyance!

Harry seems like Gandhi in comparison!
After reading comments like these about the 'new' SW I'm glad I no longer ewatch it. Actually, I'm not 'glad'. I'm mortified. After 17 years of wonderful entertainment I've left it. Every time I think of that first episode of the present series with this guy in a fight cage then elbowing someone in the face, I wonder if someone got two different programmes mixed up (e.g. SW and Fight Club...?).
This week they have a photo of the lovely, glam and gorgeous Nikki/Emilia to persuade us. My dear Emilia I'd love to join you and Leo, but not before they've put thast new guy 'the 'Irish pit-bull' in a padded cell and thrown away the key...
I remeber a somg of the 60s/70s; 'what have they done to my song ma?'. I'd like to sing 'what have they done to this programme ma?' to the same refrain.
I watched some old clips of Harry and Nikki on a Tom Ward website. Glorious, just glorious... Well at least there are 17 years worth of DVds out there to go back to...

So sad, so very very sad...
17 years? Wow I remember when it started... Doesn't seem like 17 years ago, but I just checked and it was 1996! Makes me feel old!
??? are pathologists allowed to act as Police and march into a Jail & interview an inmate?
Wouldnt his story re the shotgun have been checked out (pellets)?
Another nutty women cop?
How can you check the mileage of a car unless you had the keys?
etc, etc, etc.

I wondered that too.

I'm sure you're right Dave but as you can tell - I'm confused.com tonight.

So the female DI had a former drug problem.
However , they found some cartridge wadding ( is that what it's called) in a tree some 5 years after a murder , yeah right !
