Season 1 of DI Ray has all the comfortable hallmarks of a classic police procedural, plus a fresh perspective and a compelling protagonist. That said, it also has plenty of room to improve.
To no one’s surprise, DI Rachita Ray survived the shooting at the end of DI Ray Season 1's penultimate episode unscathed, and she’s back to finish what she started in the season finale.
Emma O'Neill-Dietel joins the ladies to break down the first season of DI Ray, a female-led mystery thriller with limited nuance but loads of potential.
DI Ray is a by-the-books procedural except for one major detail: it stars Punjabi-Sikh actor Parminder Nagra and highlights both the internal and external conflicts of working as a woman of color in the police force.
