And dark for sure. One poster said that they didn't know quite what the show had and I couldn't agree more!! There have been some cringe-worthy moments and some laugh at loud funny moments. I have decided that I really like this show! And having to think about it for a bit kind of says how novel the show is. I have the final episode of season 2 to watch. I am going to miss coming back to this show.
We love this series and we both have a uniform background.
I have laughed out loud and grimaced at some scenes that I saw in real life.
It is one of the best police series I have seen. The angst of getting it wrong,the relationships forged in extreme circumstances, the black humour and how the job takes over your life. Elaine Cassidy is superbly cast. Yes there are 'playground moments' others have reviewed, but that is sometimes the only way you can deal with the worst aspects of human nature and stay sane.
Love it and hope it has another series.

This took me by surprise.
I didn't expect any of this.
I thought it was a conventional detective, procedural series. And I was very delightfully impressed.
The storyline is original, gritty, very well developed in terms of thriller and crime situations. The humor is really great, twisted but really refreshing. But the best of it, the characters!
A very welcome show!
I have noticed a couple of bad reviews for this show but, all I have to say in response to these is, take a look for yourself. No, it may not be to everyone's taste but, tell me something that is? Personally, I love it! I've now watched the first 3 episodes aired on C4 and the kind of 'gallows humour' contained therein really is appealing to anyone who works in an industry that is, oftentimes, so dire and dreadful that humour is the only coping mechanism left open to you. But, that said, as my title implies, this show has been created for ENTERTAINMENT purposes only! If you aren't entertained, then watch something else, it's that simple. However, that said, I would like to point out that not everyone was initially impressed with Paul Abbot's other creation, Shameless, and now look what's happened there! A great deal of the population are being entertained by that one, from OAP's to indolent teens, it's a winner across the board without doubt. If these two shows are examples of what Mr Abbot is capable of then I say "create away Paul, you damn genius!" I would like to point out here that yes, I am a child from a school playground put into an adult's body, as are we all, and anyone so full of their own self importance to say they are not, needs to take the stick from out their a**e! Tee hee! Puerile enough for you? ;-)
I've read the previous reviews, one stands out. So I'm making my stand, on my opinion of the show. From the first episode, I have not only watched the story progress, due to the camera work, the actors and, for me, a totally new feel to a cop show. The character development hasn't felt forced, it seems to have evolved with the main story, leaving questions at every turn. I would suggest, which I have, to anyone who likes a clever plot and very likable cast to give their 'once over'. Again I must mention the acting, after seeing Elaine Cassidy in Paradise I had just the one image of her, and I took her for her character. Boy does she shine in this show. Alexandra Roach playing the 'by default' boss is truly awesome. This show is a joy to watch, and a pleasure to suggest. Happy Viewing :)
