The Detail

I don't mind this show at all. Some bits of humour, some crime, some drama. My wife and I are actually enjoying watching it.

That's a remake of UK series Scott & Bailey and as almost every remake ever made it's not... let's put it that way... very good.

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 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.
