Trigger Point

This is mostly about TP season 2. Its the kind of show popular with a generation that is only half-watching as they surf social media with the TV on in the background. It's a not a one star because they did make an effort and there are explosion's!

You'd find more depth in a saucer full of milk, WWE is more realistic and the plot holes are big enough that it would be fair to expect an event horizon...but apart from that it's okay...if you're half-watching.

It's not Vicky Mcclures fault, she does her best with a bumpy story line and woeful script, but some of her co-stars are so limited that you can only presume the auditions were held at the same time as a remake of 'Footballers Wives the Reunion' were hiring and the early rejects got to the trigger point casting couch just in time to get signed up.

To be fair even your favourite streamer has that bit for ads and 'like, comments, subscribes' so feel free to enjoy TP2 in those moments.

I do not understand all the negative comments here. Maybe if you work for a bomb squad this is not realistic but I thought right from the very first episode, this was great action tv. I did suspect who the person was but then, you are not sure. Great actors, real fast pace drama. Loved it.

Disappointing. So many unbelievable scenes with unexplained actions taken apparently on pure guesswork. More irritating is that there always has to be a senior male character or two who arrogantly overrides or dismisses information coming from the senior female officer despite her being seemingly the only one to discover and isolate a bomb minutes begore it explodes. Not at all credible and pushing the 'Women are just as good or even better at their jobs than men'. I suppose it's payback time for all those 1950's/60's where the hat wearing males treated the women in the same way which was just as annoying.

The same bugbear as usual unfortunately - an enormous amount of money spent on this series, but you still cannot hear all the dialogue, people mutter without moving their lips. Very frustrating to anyone with even a slight hearing impairment. This can easily be fixed, but tv production companies seem to be unable to understand how to record spoken sound properly. I watched a 1950s film on tv earlier and could every word clear as a bell. Just fix it!

Not so sure about all the woke comments but I was generally disappointed with the show. Poor script, run of the mill plot and lots of stupidity. No tension where they thought you would feel it. Light switch scene was rediculas and what bomb squad officer doesn't have their own snips. It might be your cup of tea but it wasn't mine. Ignore the 9s &10s. Fake reviews.
