Synopsis of Shetland
Detective Jimmy Perez returns to the Shetland Islands, the Scottish archipelago where he was born, after several years away. He has come back determined to protect his neighbors from any threat that disrupts the islands' peaceful way of life. When a young archaeologist finds human remains suggesting violent deaths, and shortly afterward a woman is found shot dead, Jimmy and his team set out to track down the culprits. They soon discover the case is linked to two feuding families whose conflict has divided the entire community. Created by Ann Cleeves and aired on BBC One, the series blends police drama with a portrait of a small island community. Douglas Henshall plays the lead.
