![]() She is a thorn in the side of the authorities, shooting off messages to the police and quoting government laws at the council – a Miss Marple, lady of letters and Fargo’s Marge Gunderson in one. ![]() Janina is a fabulous creation, both hero and antihero. Her friends – Dizzy (Alexander Uzoka), a former student Boros (Johannes Flaschberger), an entomologist and Oddball (César Sarachu), a neighbour – are all outsiders and non-conformists. The dead are all from the hunting club and Janina volubly espouses the theory that woodland animals are getting their revenge. With the help of an autocue (entirely excusable given the gargantuan burden of narration), Hadingue plays Janina, a beady-eyed, chronically sick animal lover living in a remote Polish village rocked by a series of inexplicable murders. ![]()

The Precursors had apparently decided to pass the Mantle onto the humans - letting them dictate the flow of life in the universe - rather than the Forerunners. In the Forerunner-Precursor war, the Forerunners destroyed their creators. They’re not all evil, but they are primarily responsible for nearly every problem in the Halo universe: the Flood, the Halo rings, and - to some extent, out of their control - the Covenant itself. They were positioned to be the Precursors’ original successors, and, at one time, the most powerful species in the universe. The Forerunners were humanity’s biggest rivals and serve as the primary antagonists in 343 Industries’ Halo games. The Precursors helped shape and evolve humans, the Forerunners, and many other races using the Mantle of Responsibility, a creation philosophy. The Forerunners get all the credit in the Halo games, but the Precursors came before, as their name implies. ![]() ![]() The Health Care Heroes series highlights different health care workers, each in their own sweet/clean romance!
