Emotionally unwell:
It is clear to see in episode 1 - 3 that DI John River is emotionally stunted; he struggles to express his mental state. It is a valid judgement to make that River was in love with his deceased partner DS Jackie Stevenson (Stevie). However, he never let himself close enough to her to admit how he felt, or still feels, even after her death.
Rivers colleagues make it compulsory for him to go and visit the psychiatrist for emotional help. River is reluctant at first but starts to show ease towards the idea of needing help.
It is easy to see how unhappy DI River is during these three episodes, in the third episode he breaks down and begins to cry heavily. This makes the audience sympathies for him; for his beloved loss and utter unhappiness that he feels.
