Psychotherapy, a treatment of the analysis of the mind…we understand so little of what drives human behaviour, what guides the brain and how it sparks certain actions by the person, that it is reasonable to look upon the practise with some suspicion, an excuse provided by opinion to keep a criminal, a murderer, an abuser, away from facing the full fury of justice.

The mind is an impressive machine, capable of so much, of inspiring absolutes and able to conquer all with reason, the heavens, the stars and its surroundings, yet often it is missing the vital information required to see the whole picture, to grasp the data shown and act upon it accordingly and deal with life without breaking down, without feeling as though you’re losing your mind.

The art of the Noir is to keep the viewer or reader guessing long enough that they doubt their own verdict, their own deductive reasoning and to question further their own possible prejudices of one suspect or another. It is an art fully utilised by the writers of the series Marcella and one that really got under the skin as each episode progressed.
