I was 25 years as a " riot cop " and this TV series does a great job of showing how it is. Life on the van , the chaos of a violent hostile crowd, the confusion and questionable ethics involved in evictions , the stress of being under investigation, the impact on your home life, the comradeship and how it can all turn sour under pressure. Clearly the makers had input from serving or retired Police. Sure some things are exaggerated for dramatic effect but by and large this is nailed on. Great acting and also a fantastic soundtrack. I would highly recommend this TV series.

I'll admit being such a huge fan of Breaking Bad I was late to the party as far as this show goes, I personally couldn't see a " spin off " series being on a par with BB and avoided it for several years before finally taking the plunge and boy am I glad I did , without a doubt this is on a par and this episode is the high water mark ( so far ) No spoilers here, but this episode is as near to perfection as a TV show can be, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen , I was utterly gripped . 10 out of 10. Better than Breaking Bad - probably.
