Holby Blue

I came here to see how many seasons were available and was disappointed to find the two I recently streamed are it. I enjoyed the series. Great characters. Even though the story lines are serious - police officers have to deal with the worst of humanity - but the writers included humor where possible. I seriously enjoyed the series and will miss the characters.

The initial episodes were promising, but the second season is worse than daytime soap. MacAninch and Zoe Lucker characters have been reduced to banal soap opera. Pathetic. The lesser characters such as James Hiller's are the only saving grace of this seies.

I love a police drama, so when I saw this I decided to give it a watch. It's not a heavy police drama. Season one started good, but then it became a bit on the soapy side.

But I don't think it was supposed to by humerous. All the men are single dimension work focused neanderthals while the women are all deeply sensitive and frustrated with the men but still keep wanting to be involved with them. The crime story is light and forms a quaint backdrop for the battle of the sexes.

Amusing but not great.

If this is authentic police officer behaviour (and it sadly might be) and police work, god help the honest British public. 'Neighbours' standard acting, bad script, weak story lines, unconvincing stereotypical characters. And the usual predictable matrimonial side issues. Makes The (later) Bill look good (and is that saying something). Managed 3 episodes then started writing this. I know some characters have to be annoying but most of them? Line of Duty, anything with Nicola Walker in it-just great. But this is jno more than soap, devoid of substance, clumsily trying to be exciting and compelling and failing miserably. There must be a reason most of the actors are almost unknown, just people saying their lines. Do yourselves a favour, leave it alone.
