Fans have waited six long years for the third and final season of the award-winning crime drama.
Describing her as “a genius”, he explains, “She’s one of those writers who has everything. She writes brilliant thriller plots, nail-biting stuff, cliffhangers. It’s a water-cooler show; people want to know what happens next and come back for it every week. Lots of police procedurals and thrillers have great plots, but what really drives it is the family, the relationships between those characters. It’s blood, really.
“She also loves to give you a sense of a character and allow you to make assumptions based on tropes and stereotypes and then pull the rug from under your feet. Tommy’s a classic example. In the first season, he’s a kidnapper, a raping, murdering psychopath. Then in the fifth episode, after he’s found out about his son and he’s been stabbed, potentially fatally, he’s sitting on the floor in the kitchen sobbing, saying, ‘I was dealt a really bad hand.
While the relationship between Royce and Ryan is central to the new season, the drama also continues to survey the social setting, a harsh place plagued by problems: drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence, corruption, crime gangs. Life is hard and Tommy’s a product of his environment. “I gave a very still, quiet, quite soft performance,” James Norton remembers of his audition tape for the role of Tommy Lee Royce.
