Review of Bancroft

Bancroft has been on the force for twenty-seven years and is a respected officer of the law. But when her colleague starts digging up cold cases she has no idea that Bancroft has Skeleton's in her closet(literally). What starts out as a slow burning mystery quickly turns into a game of cat and mouse. What stood out was Sarah Parish's performance as Bancroft. The story reminded me a bit of Dexter, of course not on that level but still engaging enough to keep you occupied. The series has potential and if they can add some layers to the characters and add some emotional weight to the story, I can see a bright future for the series. That being said, the pacing is a big concern, I kept with it since I'm a fan of mystery, but I'm not certain everyone will. Bancroft is a grounded story about a cop who's in over her head and she's willing to do anything to keep her secret.
