Dalgliesh teaser gives first look at Bertie Carvel’s new love interest

by

As a seasoned movie buff with over three decades of immersing myself in the intricacies of crime dramas, I must say that the upcoming season of Dalgliesh on Channel 5 has me utterly intrigued! The introduction of a new love interest for our brooding detective, Bertie Carvel’s Dalgliesh, adds an exciting layer to the already captivating narrative.

Tonight, Thursday, 5th December, marks the beginning of a fresh season of Dalgliesh on Channel 5. Intriguingly, this series promises an introduction of a new romantic interest for the detective character portrayed by Bertie Carvel.

In the footsteps of PD James’s “Death in Holy Orders,” I find myself embarking on an intriguing journey, venturing to a secluded seminary perched upon a windswept lake. The chilling discovery of a brutally slain body sets the stage for this gripping episode.

Almost everyone at the seminary seems to harbor some grudge against the victim, making it essential for Dalgliesh and DS Tarrant to untangle a web of varied motivations in order to identify the culprit.

In the video above, Dalgliesh and Tarrant interrogate Father Sebastian, a clergyman from the seminary, about his location during the time of the murder they’re investigating.

Upon their departure, they happen to encounter Lavenham, who had been conducting studies at the seminary and was now compelled to remain.

Dalgliesh and Lavenham experience a tender instant, and upon her departure, he confides in his coworker that he doesn’t view her as a possible culprit.

He mentioned that “Miskin” initiates growth that was previously dormant across all three seasons, and he’s traveled in numerous ways concerning his hidden emotions. Intriguingly, she seems to possess the key to this journey in an amusing manner.

As a film critic, I’ve been reflecting on the character’s journey in this series. Initially, his wound and grief were like an icy fortress we found him enclosed within at the start. Yet, over these past three years, it seems that the ice has been gradually melting, revealing glimmers of change and healing.

In my opinion, a significant aspect of their progress can be attributed to DS Kate Miskin, along with the complex dynamic between them that often takes unexpected turns.

“And of course, you now know he’s going to, by the end of the series, take a leap, take a risk, and open himself to potential damage again by beginning a new relationship with Emma Lavenham [Claire Goose].

It seems his influence, the knowledge gained from him, and the fact that he’s previously closed off opportunities are reasons I believe he needs to reopen them and take risks again. He understands this need for change.
