heroic female characters don't have sex unless they're either seriously in love or evilly tricked? This show doesn't do that.
OMG I hated her doing that. She was a 2008 girl shagging a Thatcherite wanker, it showed her as incredibly shallow and - plus, as he was a suspect - BAD AT HER JOB. I didn't respect guys who slept with female suspects, and I sure as hell didn't respect her after she slept with a male one. I mean, compare 2007 Sam not sleeping with Joani (well, voluntarily, at any rate) with Alex being so eager to shag random Thatcherite wanker that she turns up to work late the next morning - nice going, love! That's the way to set an example! Urgh.
Fundamentally, I saw Alex as a self-righteous bitch, which really pissed me off as I was determined to like her. I also found her obsession with her mother suspect, and it was only her relationship with Molly that saved her from utter loathing on my part. Not even Gene liking her could endear her to me. Phoey.
