this is fun why so critical?

This is a sort of comedy drama. It is not a hard hitting realistic drama. People saying that this series is not realistic,wrong accents and so on seem a bit harsh to me. I watched the first episode and have kept watching it,it is fun and I like the Lincolnshire locations. Of course the accents are all over the place,crazy to expect all the actors to have great accents.

The critic Alison Graham in the Radio Times is very harsh on this programme but she never likes anything.

It's a crackingly good start to a show with real potential

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

Great potential after one episode

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

Pleasant, if somewhat slight, entertainment. Worth watching for genuine human moments.

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.

Very strong start

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.

Goofs
Bill Hixon is seen wearing four individual medal ribbons on his uniform - these are, from right to left, the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal, Queen's Police Medal for Distinguished Service, and Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. 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.
