The Detail

You will always be Fiona. even though I'm not watching Corrie any more. Enjoyed seeing your still playing a strong woman role Would enjoy seeing more of your charactor on detail. a very old fan of your work.

A middling Canadian remake of UK's Scott & Bailey minus the charismatic actors and strong writing. The original's creator - the brilliant Sally Wainwright - has a purely contractual executive producer credit and a few of her scripts are given downgraded re-writes, but it's the terrible casting that really hurts this new production. Wendy Crewson - in an undeveloped supporting role as police captain - is fine, as is David Cubitt, but the two leads are absolutely forgettable, even if they are under-served by the show's writing staff. (Yes, the mostly female writing staff is just as hacky as any mostly/all-male writing staff.)

I quite liked it Angela's accent was good. I preferred it to the English version.

This is totally a remake of the UK's Scott and Bailey - I recognized that in the first 5 minutes (and stopped to write this). I will give it a chance; I'm interested to see how well Angela Griffin does, I used to watch her on Coronation Street, and Wendy Crewson is always good. I've got to say though, I love the original so much, especially Amelia Bullmore, and my heart sank when I realized what was going on. (However, Scott and Bailey's creator Sally Wainwright is attached, so perhaps there's hope yet.) Go watch Scott and Bailey!

Seems this is a pure remake of The Division https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272376/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_13

which ran four seasons. Good series then, but that was then, so no good reason to try rematching it in a remake.
