I adore how this show is so serious about "All these different aspects of police work are not just skills, they are DIFFERENT skills that different people can and will specialise in, and to a certain extent they can be taught and there's good, useful theory behind them that is important to follow, but there's a difference between being competent at them (which we expect from all our characters) and excelling at them (which we celebrate in our characters)." Everyone's face when they listened to the shit interview by wassname's dad, and everyone crowding round the CCTV to watch Janet be brilliant, and Rachel critiquing the obvious theoretic failures in wassname's dad's interview but Janet being the one who is instructed to draw up the interview strategy (which will be discussed and reviewed before it happens, because procedure is there for a reason) and nothing about ANY of this negating all the other hard work and luck that needed to go into nailing his balls to the wall AND THE FACT THAT IT STILL WASN'T A COMPLETE WIN because without a confession all they have is compelling circumstantial evidence and his terrible lies.
