McDonald & Dodds

Like other reviewers here, I'm really hoping they keep making this show. It's right in the pocket for what I like.. the length, the setting, the balance between this being their work and us not having to suffer their home lives and demons and whatnot. Sure I'd like to see McDonald turned down a bit; it's early days, they'd level her out some. I don't like how she treats him sometimes, but I also believe and like the character. For those of us who enjoy the 'cozy mystery' type of vibe, I think the show is pretty terrific.

Not to be taken too seriously, a bit of fun on a Sunday evening. The two main characters would drive you mad if you knew them, having a sneaky dig at the go getting career feminist and the time serving middle aged white male?The Dysonesque character was similarly lampooned.

Beautifully filmed. Reminiscent of Shakespeare & Hathaway(in a good way).

Clever plots with two dysfunctional police officers. The two together really work well with a pratt of a boss trying to get in the way all the time.

The whole premise works really well and I hope more episodes are forthcoming.

This show is a piece of enjoyment, it's comfort TV or as it's known "Fast-food Media". You can tell where the story is going in places but has some clever twists and doesn't miss a beat as it goes through its mystery.

Both of the characters are enjoyable and written appropriately, Dodds the old-fashioned, mature detective who's asking all the unasked questions. And Mcdonald who's the too-fast on her feet DCI who is impatient but impressed by her partners abilities. They make a wonderful pair that play off nicely against each other.

The story is compelling and smart with plenty of little funny bits in it and it plays perfectly off the different actors/actresses.

2 hours is a lot to invest itself in but it does fill a nice gap with a fully told out story, rather than in bits.

People are complaining and bombing the series with their reviews but are of the circles of people who can no longer just sit down and enjoy something, instead they must pick it apart.

The show is a hearty filler, harmless with good humour and great technicalities that'll keep you on your toes working out as you go. With some cliche moments but plenty to enjoy the series is off to a fine enjoyable start to wrap up the weekend.
