The Detail

That's a remake of UK series Scott & Bailey and as almost every remake ever made it's not... let's put it that way... very good.

I loved Scott and Bailey and hope to love this remake. But I was surprised not to see any references to the original until I saw a review here. I wish you well but please credit the original.

A middling Canadian remake of UK's Scott & Bailey minus the charismatic actors and strong writing. The original's creator - the brilliant Sally Wainwright - has a purely contractual executive producer credit and a few of her scripts are given downgraded re-writes, but it's the terrible casting that really hurts this new production. Wendy Crewson - in an undeveloped supporting role as police captain - is fine, as is David Cubitt, but the two leads are absolutely forgettable, even if they are under-served by the show's writing staff. (Yes, the mostly female writing staff is just as hacky as any mostly/all-male writing staff.)

You will always be Fiona. even though I'm not watching Corrie any more. Enjoyed seeing your still playing a strong woman role Would enjoy seeing more of your charactor on detail. a very old fan of your work.

I quite liked it Angela's accent was good. I preferred it to the English version.
