Wild Bill

The opening episode prompted a tweet from the real Lincolnshire police as reported on the BBC

"In a tongue-in-cheek tweet, the real Lincolnshire Police said: "The inaccuracies are criminal".

"It's definitely not what we are really like."

The force said it would pass "concerns about the officers portrayed" to AC-12 - the anti-corruption unit featured in the BBC's Line of Duty.

What separates this from the usual pic featuring Rob Lowe are the moments in every episode of genuine human interaction without maudlin Hollywood triteness. The show is charming and disarming in a way that encourages binge watching and good feelings. The scenery and cast are all top notch and everything moves along without being bogged down by overdosing on soap opera moments. Watch it alone or with family; either way you will fall under the spell of its simple charms.

Good show...this is one of those shows that you love to watch because it is JUST a show. They are not trying to feed you some message, nor are they trying to right some "real" wrong in the world. They are just trying to make a good show. Something that you can watch and relax and forget the rest of the world for an hour. So get yourself a nice cup of tea or whatever beverage you like and a snack and snuggle up with you loved one and relax. You will enjoy this show.

As others, I started watching because I was intrigued by how Rob Lowe would shape up. The first episode was intriguing, a surprisingly well balanced blend of dark drama, cleverly plot and character interplay. The Lincolnshire backdrop is really unusual and adds context and flavour. The second episode was even better. The plot kept me guessing; the writing avoided the obvious clichés, the acting remained solid.

I have high hopes for the series remaining as entertaining and engaging.

Not yet a tour de force, but it's in the zone

This series has loads of potential. I love how the series runs the line between comedy, drama and darker elements. If you like crime drama with touches of comedy then you would love this. It will take time for the characters to settle, but this does have the characters, premise and talent to become a great show.

I will rate it at the end of the series. Lets hope the series finishes as strong as it's started.
