John Simm returns as the troubled but brilliant Detective Superintendent Roy Grace in the fifth season premiere of “Grace.” This three-episode crime drama picks up with Grace still grappling with the aftermath of Sandy’s suicide and dealing with the loss of Cleo in his life. His personal struggles form a stark contrast to the high-stakes case that lands on his desk.
A body in a barrel washes up on a Sussex beach, plunging Grace into a difficult investigation. Simultaneously, a chilling anonymous demand is made against Brighton’s football stadium, placing Roy, who’s at the match with Bruno, in a race against time. With two seemingly disparate but potentially connected threats looming, Grace must wade through the murky waters of criminal intent while battling his inner demons.
“Dead If You Don’t” sets the stage for what looks to be a gripping season of crime-solving and personal reckoning. Tune in to ITV1 this Sunday, April 6 at 8:00 PM to see how Grace tackles this latest challenge.
