Another great bbc drama on Netflix, very much worth checking out, only 6 episodes:
Stellan Skarsgård (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) stars as John River, a brilliant police officer whose genius and fault-line is the fragility of his mind.
Nicola Walker (Last Tango In Halifax) and Adeel Akhtar (Utopia) line up alongside Skarsgård, as Detective Sergeant Jackie ‘Stevie’ Stevenson, River’s colleague and confidant, and Detective Sergeant Ira King. Lesley Manville (An Adventure In Space And Time) is their superior, Chief Inspector Chrissie Read, with Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan) also joining the cast as a notorious killer who plagues River.
John River: a Detective who lives among the dead and dying victims and killers from the murder cases he’s trying to solve.
John River: a man whose vulnerabilities and eccentricities are brought to the fore as he grieves the loss of his dearest friend and colleague.
The stages of his grief mark River's growing bonds with those he has excluded from his heart and his mind, and when a murder suspect jumps to his death whilst being pursued by River, the pressure and scrutiny that surrounds him escalates fast.
As the investigation into a murder begins to reveal her deepest secrets, River has to question everything he thought he knew about his one true friend. Their relationship might have survived her death but can it survive the truth of who she really was in life?

I just finished it.
(Spoilers)
8/10
My only complaint is that there were too many scenes of him talking to himself. The actual shots of no one being there with him.
It kind of slugged along in the middle but not a big deal.
