Armitage Shouts 'FAECES!' in New Cagoule Thriller
30 Sep
Summary
- Dr. Ethan Winter is a maverick forensic pathologist.
- The series centers on the unsolved murder of Winter's fiancée.
- The drama features Armitage's brooding and action sequences.
A new six-part ITV police procedural, titled "Winter," features Richard Armitage as the titular Dr. Ethan Winter. Winter is portrayed as a brilliant but unconventional forensic pathologist operating in Bristol.
The narrative is underpinned by the decade-old unsolved murder of Winter's fiancée, a case that continues to haunt him and fuels the series' primary mystery. This ongoing personal tragedy is interwoven with weekly, self-contained crime investigations.
Annabel Scholey plays DI Lauren Bell, a detective with a past career in the Met, while Jamie Kenna is DS Ellis Daldry, Winter's sidekick. The show is noted for its high production values, with particular attention paid to direction, soundtrack, and lighting.
Described as a potboiler, the series is based on the French thriller "Balthazar." Despite its potential for ridiculousness, the combination of a compelling central mystery and Armitage's performance makes it ferociously watchable.
