Detective Mrs. Ellen Lucas (2003)

With an inimitable mix of sensitivity and perseverance, charm and toughness, Detective Ellen Lucas masters her life and her work in what is often still a man's world: the Homicide Department of a medium-sized town. Lucas abhors bullshit and always cuts to the chase, which her fellow officers have to get used to. Her cases stand out for their modern, authentic feel, reflected, for example, in a murder involving drones.
