Chasing Shadows is a 4 part drama which follows the crimes investigated by troubled Detective Sergeant Sean Stone as he struggles to collaborate with colleagues DCI Karl Prior and Ruth Hattersley when investigating the disappearances of Taylor Davis and Stephen Eli.
At one point DS Stone asks Ruth if she's started wearing lipstick. One role Alex Kingston is known for is River Song on Doctor Who (2005) who is an archaeologist/murder/thief whose modeous operandi is wearing hallucinogenic lipstick and kissing her target. See more »
This was a fun series with neat twists and engaging lead characters.
Nicely drawn albeit eccentric lead character with great support from
the always likable Alex Kingston (ER, Hope Springs and Doctor Who's
River Song), the always good to see again, Don Warrington (remembered
as one of "Rigsby's" tenants in the wonderful British comedy, Rising
Damp). Reece Shearsmith is well known for his offbeat comedic
characters and after a sinister portrayal as a sociopath in The Widower
it was good to see him offer another obtuse, but different,
characterisation. Hopefully the cliffhanger ending to season one will
be resolved....sometime soon.
