NEW YORK, July 9 (UPI) -- Designated Survivor and Nikita actress Maggie Q says her new drama, Ballard, shows how police investigators, as well as family members, may be haunted by crimes where justice has not been served.
"We know that from the detectives who consulted with us," the 46-year-old actress told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
"This is a very real emotion that they live with every day," she said. "They're retired now -- the people that we work with -- and there's still things that really bother and nag at them and I think that just goes and owes to the integrity of why these people do what they do and why they've dedicated their lives to what they do. In making a show like this, we are really honoring that dedication and showing, truly, what it takes to be a detective in the world that we live in."
Maggie Q also emphasized that every person matters and is worthy of investigators' best efforts to give their loved ones closure.
