Scott & Bailey (Seasons 1–5)

"Scott & Bailey" (2011) is a British crime series you can watch online on iFILM — five seasons on ITV following two detectives in the Manchester Metropolitan Police's Major Incident Team.

Suranne Jones plays D.C. Rachel Bailey: instinct-driven, personal life in constant disarray. Lesley Sharp is D.C. Janet Scott — measured and methodical, though her home life carries its own weight. They work their cases under their superintendent, played by Amelia Bullmore. The murders are unglamorous. The suspects are ordinary people. The cases land in a real-feeling Manchester, not a stylized noir cityscape.

Five seasons, 2011 to 2016. The drama comes less from case twists than from two women doing a hard job and managing not to lose each other in the process. Stream all seasons of "Scott & Bailey" on iFILM.
