The Detail

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!

I loved Scott and Bailey and hope to love this remake. But I was surprised not to see any references to the original until I saw a review here. I wish you well but please credit the original.

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.

So here we have yet another police procedural TV show, only this time, in the hour this episode lasts, 30 minutes is 3 women who's characters are unconvincing and acting too aloof dealing with their personal menopausal relationship issues, and the other 30 mins is trying to convince us they are doing police work. Seriously, who comes up with this stuff and who pays to produce this hot mess? Bring back Motive. A generous 3/10 from me - will re-evaluate after attempting to sit through a few more episodes.
