Anna Paquin is haunted by a family tragedy in a brand-new detective drama.
We’ve seen plenty of troubled cops on our TV screens over the years, but Canadian detective Annie Ryder is more dysfunctional than most – as viewers will discover in new My5 crime drama Bellevue.
‘Annie is quite a damaged person and has had a lot of trauma in her life,’ explains Anna Paquin, who plays her. ‘She’s living in a way that is quite reckless. That makes her great at her job, but it’s not a stable existence.’
The eight-parter follows Annie’s investigation into the disappearance of a local trans teenager, Jesse (Sadie O’Neil), in the small town of Bellevue, while the reasons for Annie’s trauma are revealed to be deeply personal.
