My Thoughts
Marcella is a crime thriller series about a cop who is suffering from blackouts. While she's working to find a serial killer, she is dealing with her own mental instability which can lead to many problems. The second season has eight episodes.
1- When Marcella investigates a body found in a wall, she learns she knew the young victim.
2- Marcella gets therapy for her blackouts and the murdered child is linked to a pedophile.
3 - Jake threatens to reveal Marcella's blackouts if she doesn't give him custody of the kids. A new body leads the police to the brothel.
4 - Someone goes missing at a concert and a secret about Jason comes out in therapy.
5 - A victim is found being held captive and they find more victims in the lair.
6 - Marcella arrests a wealthy businessman. Reg is missing.
7 - Marcella believes the killer is a woman. A hostage situation leads to tragedy.
8 - Edward is being held captive and Marcella gets close to the truth.
This is a really great series, and even though I somehow missed season 1, I was able to pick up quickly and follow along with the story. I loved the twist of a cop who is having a mental breakdown. It makes for a very exciting storyline with some shocking twists. You can grab a copy of this DVD set online at Amazon or Acorn Media.
