She has most notably starred as DI Kate Fleming in Who is Stella Tomlinson? When contacted by Restorative Justice, though, Tomlinson and her estranged husband Paul come together to view a taped recording of Charles who appears to be atoning for his crime against their daughter.

Guilt, tough conversations, tears and sometimes even redemption. Restorative justice — the process within which victims, or the families of victims, ...

But that soon softens, and as Charles is revealed to be a victim of a cruel plan, his anger begins to subside. At the start, when we are to believe he did kill Maisie, he is menacing and hard. After admonishing Stella for being out drinking rather than staying in with her daughter, Charles tells her that he had nothing to do with her murder, that he had been set up to be at the scene, and that another girl, currently missing, was connected to Maisie’s death. The script — and the story, told over four episodes — never goes deep enough to make us care about Stella’s plight. And so, Without Sin transforms from a thoughtful exploration of the depths of restorative justice into a desperate wild goose chase for this other missing girl. Since then, her life has hit a roadblock — she’s left her cushy office job in favour of driving a taxi, she smokes probably too much marijuana and split up with her ex-husband, Paul (Perry Fitzpatrick), though they still share the odd tryst, unbeknownst to his new partner.

McClure and Johnny Harris bring a natural rawness and sense of place to the drama, elevating it beyond standard ITV thrillers.

Screenwriter Frances Poletti, making her series debut here, is a Nottingham native and the sense of place is strong. [Shane Meadows’s This Is England](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/11859462/This-Is-England-Shane-Meadows-on-his-era-defining-drama.html), and it shows. But the central mysteries of what happened to Maisy, and the whereabouts of the other missing girl, keep things going. Charles Stone (Johnny Harris), the man convicted of Maisy’s murder, has expressed a desire to meet Stella as part of the restorative justice scheme. Stella gave up her office job after Maisy’s death and now works as a taxi driver, which can only have been thrown in as a device because driving comes in handy at certain points in the drama. The latter follows the Christmas TV tradition of serving up murder and misery.

It's a genuine delight to see the places you know and love appear on the screen and makes a refreshing change to have something filmed locally highlighting the great depth of talent that the city has to offer filmmakers. The gritty crime show could not be more Nottingham if it tried. It's a slow burner rather than giving it all away upfront which is perfect for anyone who loves the thrill of the chase or a bit of suspense.
