Treat this show for what it is, a comedy, crime series with a twist. The exploits of John Major, a Detective brought back from the dead with AI, who begins a journey to discover who killed him.
It's zany, crazy fun, it delivers lots of laughs, and some very human moments. It gets better as it progresses, and series one ends with a truly marvellous conclusion, best of the lot.
Mays and Graham work amazingly well together, at times it feels as if the pair could burst into laughter at any point. Anna Maxwell Martin and Tracy Anne Overman are both great too.
It is very well produced, it looks great, and has some decent specific effects too.
I was so pleased so see a second series had been commissioned, it deserves a longer run, 8/10.

Genius comedy writing with three actors at the top of their game: Daniel Mays, Stephen Graham and Anna Maxwell-Martin. I loved this series - a relentless pounding of laughs with visual slap-stick, pure farce and brilliantly quotable gag-a-minute dialogue. Enjoy.
I wasn't sure about this initially, but I've now watched season 1 and 2, and I really like it!
Mixing comedy, with a police drama is difficult, and yes, very often the situations are absurd, but you just have to sit back, and not take it too seriously. Personally, I don't think it's laugh out loud funny, but it is amusing, all the way through. With one of the cops being brought back from the dead, with AI, it is completely unpredictable, as his AI system doesn't work particularly well! Lol
I love the two main actors, and despite it being a comedy, their genuine friendship is heartwarming, touching, and very believable.
It is rated 15, but I would say, that that rating is mainly based on strong language. There are shootings, and injuries, but it definitely isn't gory, and the violence is not extreme, as it seems to be with the majority of cop shows nowadays. I can't watch anything that shows extreme violence or gore, so this was a joy to watch, as there was nothing that I had to hide behind a cushion for!
It looks like a 3rd season has been commissioned, so I look, forward to that!

Brilliantly silly and great comic timing. Humour kind of reminds me of Toast of London. Hope another series comes along soon.
Two great character actors who aren't afraid to laugh at themselves. Been a huge fan of Stephen Graham since Snatch and Daniel Mays career I've followed keenly since Line of Duty.
At no point should this be taken seriously. Just sit down relax and treat the show as it should be treated, plain silly fun.
Brilliant!
