What has gone wrong with comedy these days ??

This has got to be one of the worst comedy shows that I have ever seen.

The acting is awful, the script is mostly nonsensical and the whole concept of these "recruits" would even be considered for the police force is totally idiotic.

It does remind me (in a very small way) of the police academy movies, but this is nowhere nearly as good.

There does not seem to be one redeeming character in the whole show, none of the recruits seem to be worthy of becoming a police officer, and the training officers all seem like they are rejects that have been transferred from other parts of the force to keep them quiet and out of the way.

All in all, this is a show that I hope never gets a second series.

Well this one is really really scraping the barrel that a world champion barrel scraper had scraped till they couldn't scrape no more. Every single joke falls flat and misses the mark so much it's painful. It jammed full of unlikeable characters that for the most part you can't relate to them.

They throw every stereotype at you, filling the show with too many characters to give a decent story arc or much to do. The problem we have with some of modern sitcoms these days is the writer are to afraid to write something funny in case it offends someone. It's time for sitcoms to be funny once more.

To give you an idea of how unfunny this is, they have more laughs in an episode of Mrs Browns Boys.

Just awful. It's trying to be like Police Academy but has completely failed. Casting rubbish, script/writing rubbish, acting rubbish. The two training "superintendents" are superintendents one moment (crown on their epaulettes) then in the next scene they've been immediately promoted to Chief Superintendents (crown and pip on epaulettes), then back to superintendents again.

They tick all the equality and diversity boxes. ITV must be so desperate to commission this @#&* Whoever commissioned this tripe to be aired needs a good holiday or the sacked.

I certainly won't be watching any follow up series, life is precious and I wouldn't waste any of it watching this.

Could've been great if it had been written by someone who understood the job of police and could wrote something funny. Unfortunately, this is just amateur, stereotypical drivel that might appease certain demographics, but unlikely to appeal broadly. The jokes are flat, the acting is embarrassing and comedy is just not funny. Such a wasted opportunity to do something new Even Police Academy is funnier than this and I mean the last, really bad one. The best thing that could happen to this show is it quietly moved to the small hours of the morning and dropped slowly so the memory of even having laid eyes on it can be attributed to some kind of fever dream.

About as funny as watching concrete dry, paint drying, wheat growing, sun rising, moon falling, rain falling, dog walking, nails growing...you get the idea.

Like something out of a politically correct Carry on film, only worse and more boring. Someone has made an attempt at an American sitcom, without the canned laughter (perhaps it should have been added).

Why o why, do people get paid to create this drivel.

Why is that a public service gets insulted with this calamity, and then we wonder why recruitment is an issue. Perhaps the losers that created this should actually join, contribute, gain real life experience and then, maybe then might they produce something amusing.

I understand McDonalds are recruiting, so your 'talents' may be best employed there. ITV what were you thinking, the cast of Crossroads would turn in their graves!
