DI Ray (Seasons 1–2)

DI Ray (2022) is a British crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Rachita Ray has just made detective inspector. Based in Leicester but posted to Birmingham, she picks up a case that immediately pulls at threads she has spent a lifetime avoiding.

Ray is one of the few South Asian officers in the unit — and her colleagues don't let her forget it. When the investigation leads into a tight-knit immigrant community, she has to navigate between police procedure and a lifetime of straddling two identities. Parminder Nagra, best known for ER and Bend It Like Beckham, plays Ray with a controlled intensity that carries the whole series.

Made for ITV and directed by Audrey Cooke, the show strips away conventional procedural scaffolding to ask what it costs when the detective is herself the outsider in every room she enters. Watch DI Ray (2022) online on iFILM.
