Marcella

As you may know (if you are Americans you don't), in UK the police men/women ARE NOT ARMED, they're not allowed to carrying guns. It's tradition and they're keeping that way; that's why killing a cop is HIGH CRIME in UK, because exactly that - they are unarmed. (Of course, there is the "Armed Police", with submachine guns)...

...So, this show is a classic INVESTIGATION police movie, with a very good plot/scenario. It's like the "CSI" series, but with more field investigation and less lab research.

Very good TV show, I watched the two season in Netflix in ...a weekend! Very highly recommended. We're waiting the new 3rd upcoming season.

Enjoyed S1 and found parts of S2 were good. But S3 has been a hard slog. It's just so badly written, I don't understand how it ended up as bad as this. Surely itv have people who check that the story makes sense, that smart characters aren't constantly doing stupid things etc. It feels like they made it because of a tax break in Ireland rather than because it made sense. Please don't make a 4th series. It's run out of steam and ideas.

Very disappointed in Season 3. So many scenes with no sense or follow up as to what is going on. Marcella merely wanders around looking and acting the tarty role, and has very little dialogue! Struggling to watch to the end. No need for a 4th Season. Enjoyed Season 1 and 2, but it has gone downhill from there.

While seasons 1 and 2 were excellent, season 3 misses the target. I was quite disappointed at the premise, including the weak dialogue and unconvincing acting. It seems that season 3 was either rushed to production or the quality control that one had come to expect dropped substantially.

By season 3 they have managed to make their lead character the most annoying character. Time for her to go.
