In Deep

Loved this series. Wish I knew how to watch it on here?

I'm not a fan of either Nick Berry or Stephen Tompkinson - and regardless how much the BBC tries to ram down the throat that these two guys shouldn't be messed with - I just don't buy Nick Berry as a hardman. I don't care how much melodramatic music, lighting or story they pump into the script I just smirk as an unshaven Berry tries to con his way into every eb of the episode's bad guy.

To its credit, the writing isn't bad but the idea's been done many times before - such as "Thief Takers", "99-1", "The Knock" and the inevitable comparison to "The Professionals", which I find quite bemusing.

Sure there's action sequences, stunts and the bravado of these Bodie and Doyle wannabe's - but somehow I just don't care about the characters as much as I want to. I care more about Berry's family and Berry's view on fathership than what he does to sting a drug baron.

Anyway, its not bad for what it is. Another Professionals type show. Shame it doesn't have the charm of Bodie and Doyle, but then again - not many shows have.

I don't buy Nick Berry has a hardman, I'm sorry - but I don't.

Overall: 4/10

Watching in 2021 I cannot see the lure to this series. I like the two main actors and why I stuck with it. The storylines are not overly believable - Pam the wife is a whinny snot character. What I do like is the storylines are willing to look at bent cops. Generally OK if nothing else on.

I have never liked cop shows. They do not appeal to me at all. I don't find the story of two cops, going undercover as bad guys to catch the real bad guy very gripping, but this show is different. it has two very likable main characters, who are played extremely well by Nick Berry and Stephen Thompkinson. The stories are constantly changing and the characters are always developing. It is funny, scary, thrilling and above all a really great show. The writers, directors and editors DO NOT NEED TO BE CHANGED AS OTHERS HAVE SAID, and the NICK and STEPHEN belong in their roles. it is one of the most enjoyable T.V show out at the minute and i definitely would watch the news to see the last part to it.!

I just now watched In Deep and loved it. Each showed left me wanting to watch the next. I just wish they had made more seasons.
