Making her return to episodic television for the first time since the 1970s, Jodie Foster leads the series as Detective Liz Danvers. Danvers is the hard-nosed, competent, and deeply flawed lead of the Ennis police force. Foster brings her trademark intensity to the role, portraying Danvers as a woman who uses her sharp intellect to solve cases but keeps her personal life—and her own dark past—in a state of chaotic disarray. It is a performance that serves as a spiritual successor to the gritty, complex leads of the show’s first season.
