Average acting, unbelievable characters, never grabs hold of you like half-decent shows do. The most annoying part of it is that it is all filmed in a ridiculously dark way, perhaps for some sort of effect (which doesn't work). The police station looks like some old primary school from the war that has never been updated. Why do we keep seeing these? Go back to the good old days of The Bill (before they did the same to that) and have police stations that look like police stations. When first watching this I actually wondered if it was based in the 60s but evidently not as you watch further on. Another poor drama from ITV who seem to be struggling to keep up with the dramas on offer from the BBC.
