With the name of the man behind Line of Duty and Trigger Point above the marquee, viewers know what to expect from DI Ray. But creator and writer Maya Sondhi infuses the show with a little more nuance than some of Mercurio’s other police blockbusters.
Promoted to the homicide division of a fictional Birmingham force in season one, it didn’t take DI Rachita Ray (Parminder Nadra) long to realise she was a token hire. Especially when a culturally specific honour killing was sent her way as a first assignment. Her investigation exposed deep rooted racial bias in the force, with evidence pointing at British Hindu suspects flimsy at best.
Returning from suspension, season 2 sees Ray assigned to investigate the brutal execution style murder of a young nurse, with all signs pointing to a gangland turf war. But as the investigation deepens, more disturbing motivations begin to be exposed.
Season 2 looks to continue the show’s complex and gripping assessment of internal and external racial prejudice within the police and is not to be missed for fans of hard-hitting crime drama. So read on for how to watch DI Ray online, from anywhere and potentially for FREE.
