Let’s get this out of the way first. These episodes of The Out-Laws have been all over the shop. In Belgium there were 10, over here we were told it was eight, and now, according to Channel 4, there are nine. It’s been a bit confusing to say the least.

And so they keep on coming, thick and fast. ITV will soon broadcast a new six-part series. Set in Brighton, The Level stars Karla Crome as Nancy, a model police officer with a shady double life and Laura Haddock as Hayley, her estranged best friend. The pair is forced together after a serious incident in the dead of night threatens to expose Nancy and rip Hayley’s family apart. Noel Clarke and Robert James Collier play two officers butting heads over the investigation as Lindsey Coulson tries to hold the whole thing together. Philip Glenister plays Frank, a career criminal who looms menacingly throughout the series. There’s a trailer after the jump.

No music. Perfunctory, procedural dialogue. High tension. Details. Details. Details. It was superb.
