Trigger Point

Very cheesy with occasional moments of genuine tension but there ends up being so many moments where you end up saying to yourself "really ?" . Disappointing.

I do not understand all the negative comments here. Maybe if you work for a bomb squad this is not realistic but I thought right from the very first episode, this was great action tv. I did suspect who the person was but then, you are not sure. Great actors, real fast pace drama. Loved it.

A six part, explosive series, Jed Mecurio, Vicky McClure, this should, on paper, be brilliant......

For such a pedigree, this series was sadly, a real disappointment. If you're anything like me, you'll see the name Jed Mecurio, and get pretty excited, sadly this one just didn't land. It's not all bad, but sadly it's a real disappointment.

On the plus side, it looks nice, it's incredibly well filmed, it's slick, and the action scenes and explosives are impressive, Vicky McClure is excellent, and in fairness the first episode is rather good.

Unfortunately, it just runs out of steam very quickly, the tension feels forced, the plot is wafer thin, the eventual outcome just doesn't work. The characters lack any degree of depth, Lana apart, it's so hard to warm to any of them. Some of the acting is a little patchy in parts.

If you're desperate to watch it, you could quite easily watch parts one and six, as virtually nothing happens in the rest of it.

It was a ratings winner, and it was obvious that series two would follow, hopefully they do it a little better when it returns. 6/10.

This is mostly about TP season 2. Its the kind of show popular with a generation that is only half-watching as they surf social media with the TV on in the background. It's a not a one star because they did make an effort and there are explosion's!

You'd find more depth in a saucer full of milk, WWE is more realistic and the plot holes are big enough that it would be fair to expect an event horizon...but apart from that it's okay...if you're half-watching.

It's not Vicky Mcclures fault, she does her best with a bumpy story line and woeful script, but some of her co-stars are so limited that you can only presume the auditions were held at the same time as a remake of 'Footballers Wives the Reunion' were hiring and the early rejects got to the trigger point casting couch just in time to get signed up.

To be fair even your favourite streamer has that bit for ads and 'like, comments, subscribes' so feel free to enjoy TP2 in those moments.

Disappointing. So many unbelievable scenes with unexplained actions taken apparently on pure guesswork. More irritating is that there always has to be a senior male character or two who arrogantly overrides or dismisses information coming from the senior female officer despite her being seemingly the only one to discover and isolate a bomb minutes begore it explodes. Not at all credible and pushing the 'Women are just as good or even better at their jobs than men'. I suppose it's payback time for all those 1950's/60's where the hat wearing males treated the women in the same way which was just as annoying.
