Inspector Ellis – Acorn TV Original Series – Series Exclusive Binge Monday, 19 May

This riveting detective crime stars three-time Olivier Award winner Tony Award-nominee Sharon D Clarke (Showtrial, Lost Boys & Fairies, Rocketman) as Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) Ellis, a tenacious cop who is parachuted in to handle failing investigations.

Each 90 minute episode sees Inspector Ellis (Clarke), accompanied by her right-hand man Detective Sergeant (DS) Harper, played by Andrew Gower (The Winter King, Carnival Row, Outlander), arrive at a different local police station, where she must win over the local detectives and immerse herself in the cases she’s come to solve. 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 and is fuelled by a determination for justice and a deep well of compassion for those who need it. The show will stream three episodes next month.
