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.

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.
What to say first.......well there's been better but there's certainly been a lot worse. Casting Rob Lowe was good move, his dry humour carries the show and has delivered some good one liners. Rob Lowe's take on our policing is very humorous as he questions how things are done differently here. Yes there are some flaws and questionable plots so far but so do other fictional crime/comedy series. I could name quite a few other comedies based round a local police station were the constables undermine and talk inappropriately to higher ranking officers and unbelievable plots told.
At the end of the day, it is fictional and a black comedy with made up plots and not a serious drama which I think some have forgotten. I have rated this series an 7 with the hope that as it progresses the humour will increase.

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.

Great potential after one episode. Rob Lowe brings a certain charisma to the role.

These are all medals that are awarded to UK police officers, for which Hixon would not be eligible having not served in any UK police force prior to his appointment.
