Yes, the script is, at times, a smidge on the lazy side (at one point, Frank says, “You just don’t get it, do you!” a phrase which appears so often on the screen that it really needs to be banned). But the tension stays high, and Brighton is as salty a backdrop as one might hope. With three more episodes to come, Sunday night is in safe hands.

Grace is one of those dramas in which you shouldn’t think too hard about plot points. Such as: would two ruthless killers really leave their main victim alive? And it’s one in which the lead detective works things out inordinately quickly, and immediately tells the suspects that he suspects them. But these aren’t major problems. If ITV can find room in the schedules, another Grace instalment would go down nicely.

The plot becomes rapidly and pleasingly complicated without losing any sense of narrative.

There were more interconnections and double-crossings in this single episode than on Rod Stewart’s model railway. It papered over any cracks in credulity by throwing plot and more plot at the wall.

If you weren't depressed before you will have been by 10pm, unless of course snuff porn is your thing. I think this is our new Vera. The weirdest thing of all is that it wasn't totally terrible. This was mainly down to John Simm playing Roy Grace. ... The other positive thing about it was the character of DS Norman Potting, played by Craig Parkinson. ... Thanks also to Richie Campbell and Amit Shah there was enough to keep watching. Although I wish I hadn't.

Simm is fine but not given a lot to do beyond the usual police business and being anguished by the disappearance of his wife, Sandy (who continues to haunt Brighton, now clutching the results of a mysterious paternity test). Grace at least has a new love interest, Cleo, the forensics bod played by Zoe Tapper, while his sidekick, DS Glenn Branson (Richie Campbell), has seemingly resolved his marital difficulties. But it’s hard to care.

Aside from the show’s failings as a compelling episode – its uneven pacing, heavy-handed clues and drab dialogue – the biggest problem was its treatment of its female characters.

Hi Hum and here we go again with yet another poor quality, poorly acted, predictable, hackneyed, dull , plodding and lackluste routine cop ‘drama ‘ called Grace. Played by the dull , tedious, plodding and lacking any charisma, John Simm I was surprised to see these 4 new shows being announced and I guess it’s a sign of the paucity of quality and original content that Grace is back on our screens. I am not a fan of the writer of the Grace novels and I can’t find anything positive about Grace
