One thing is for sure, this was not sponsored by the Philadelphia Tourist Board.
It is grim and raw and disturbing. An insight into the underbelly of drug culture in the USA and the appalling way women are abused, most especially by the enforcement agencies who should be looking out for them.
Essentially this is a whodunnit, with a lot of twists and turns on the way. It is worth watching although there is a heavy amount of profanities throughout.
As for the lead character, Mickey, you have to take things at face value.
She is just not credible as a beat cop.
She is allowed to follow her own agenda, acts alone even on patrol (really?? I thought they always had to be paired up), she enters derelict buildings at night armed only with a gun and a flashlight and nobody know she is going there .... really??
She seems to have access to murder scenes, holding cells, archives and just about everywhere else without being questioned.

This was very disappointing.
To my mind the characters were not at all believable and neither were the relationships.
The die was cast with the very first two words; a tongue in cheek homage to a past role by John Thaw, but there the similarity ended. I thought he was very poor in this. This is not the first time I felt this way about dramas he has featured in outside of his major roles. Quite wooden in fact.
Sarah Lancashire just does not convince in a romantic role and although she plays a variety of different screen characters I thin k she is very one dimensional.
I could see where this was heading and had no real interest in the story or the characters so I abandoned it after one episode.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but this had me twitching in my seat waiting for it to end.
It's sort of a Rom/Com for the elderly, only there are not many laughs around dementia and the other debilitating conditions depicted.
It is a veritable ensemble of well known British thespians which makes it the sort of film that could only be made in the UK, but I wonder if it was relying on this rather than produce something truly entertaining.
Even dabbling in the odd profanity makes me think it was trying to be seen as contemporary. It isn't necessary, it never is. Creative writing should win out, not the F word.
