Outlander's Lauren Lyle trades 18th century garb for a bumbag and some Docs in her obsession-inducing new Scottish crime drama “Karen Pirie.”
The show is so good, in fact, that we’d normally be tempted to tell you to run off and watch it immediately. But in this case, we’ll suggest you read on for some of Lyle’s insights on one of the year’s best —and most unexpected — TV dramas.
Adapted from Scottish crime novelist Val McDermid’s "The Distant Echo," "Karen Pirie" sees Lyle step into the Doc Martens and bumbag of the titular detective. As the story begins, DS Pirie is unexpectedly put in charge of a long-dormant cold case after a "woke millennial [with] a microphone" starts a podcast about the unsolved murder of Rosie Duff , a bartender whose body was found in a cemetery some 20 years prior.
And as a story, you see it through [...] this lens of a young woman who is trying to solve the murder of another young woman, and who knows what it means to walk home at night and have your keys between your fingers. She's also a young woman that knows what it can mean to be afraid to walk home at night.
