The Investigator (1997)

"The Investigator" is a British crime drama set in the shadowy world of private detection. Deception and desire tend to blur together as cases unfold. Laura Fraser and Helen Baxendale both bring real tension to their roles, caught up in intrigue that spills past the interrogation room. This hub holds 5 scenes pulled from the series. Fraser bares all in a sequence that lingers well past the plot point that sets it up. Baxendale's screen presence brings its own smoldering charge, with a nude scene that catches viewers off guard. Together the two actresses give this procedural a heat that most crime dramas never bother chasing. Fans of British drama with genuine skin in the game will find plenty here.
