24 Hours in Police Custody

Arguably "true crime" has never seen a better documentary. The awarding of ten stars is without ambiguity, without doubt, without considering "the nine". 24 Hours in Police Custod has, to date, had 19 different directors - rather suggesting that it is the format, more than anything else, that lies behind the greatness.

All "top-end-documentary-requirements" are in place; the showing of all sides to the story, the balanced rhetoric, the flow, the sense of being there, the unfolding of the story, the suspense and the conclusion.

This is high end drama without the "changes for dramatical purposes". This is, also, one of the rare documentaries that truly motivates the claim; "reality is greater than fiction".

Greatness comes in many shapes and forms. Within its genre - 24 Hours in Police Custody is arguably the " hottest ticket in town" - If there was one series to choose this could be the one.

24 Hours in Police Custody is a documentary series highlighting the crimes that occur every single day in Bedfordshire (or others close). This is one of those series where the people who are making these, clearly want to show no bounds in terms of graphic images. They want you to look at reality in the eye. And for a documentary series that mostly revolve around murders, drugs, rapes, I have to say, and honored, they are absolutely spectacular at doing it.

I always go back to watch episodes of 24 Hours, because it is very interesting to see just how devious, foolish, or organized these criminals are in each episode. It almost makes you feel like a detective, and you're there. You'd feel half the vibes in this series, because it is extremely bleak (but not a putting-off bleak). The series itself is intense with its investigations, and that just adds to the authenticity. I wouldn't be surprised if this show got slammed by viewers, it's extremely realistic, and incredible.

I can say (no comment) after watching this show (no comment) that if you want to be a career criminal (no comment) that the best place to do it (no comment) would be in the UK.

Some of the (no comment) sentences given to pretty horrific crimes are (no comment) laughable at best. The show is extremely well done though and the officers are talented (no comment) but 80 percent of the interviews are filled with (no comment). It is definitely worth a watch - albeit a frustrating one.

As a career law enforcement official (no comment) I know that there are flaws, many flaws but after (no comment) many years of dealing with the US Justice system (no comment) I am a bit more thankful however both need fixing and it is depressing. A solid 7.5 for me.

Pure drama that challenges the perception of modern day police work and the modern day accused

I've only seen the first two seasons and so far I really like it. It shows the day to day process that detectives go through to build cases. There's not the flash that are a big part of so many shows, just good honest police work. I want to see more. Highly recommended.
