Three crimes, two detectives, on continuing argument.

Vexed follows a detective duo with real chemistry who approach the job from completely different angles. Each week their investigations shine a light on contemporary phenomena and through their conflicting views, they argue their way to solving the case.



Out-spoken but charming detective Jack Armstrong, is partnered with Kate Bishop and the two immediately clash over Jack’s approach to policing and attitude to life and love. Kate has recently transferred to the area and her pairing with Jack takes them into the world of supermarket loyalty cards, a private rehab clinic and sees them investigate the kidnap of a girl band member.



Jack and Kate are like yin and yang but the move has caused deep strains on her personal life and Kate feels she has no choice but to return home to save her marriage. Jack is delighted, he’ll miss Kate but this is his chance to get a male partner – that is until Georgina, not George enters his world and shatters his idea of an easy day’s work. Georgina is Jack’s polar opposite. Bright and fiercely ambitious, she is newly promoted to the position of Detective Inspector, brilliant at forensics, top of every police course going and keen to prove herself further. Unfortunately Jack has other plans and it’s not long before the sparks fly as together they navigate the world of car sales, the physicality of the gym, strange cliques within universities, our obsession with food, the competition for primary school places and whether diamonds really equal romance. Think “Moonlighting”. Think bright, sexy and funny. Think two very attractive leads whose personal lives are as complicated as the cases they investigate. Think Vexed.
