So...I adore UK police procedurals. Faves right now are Endeavour, Grantchester, Shetland, Broadchurch, Line of Duty. They're all so well done. This show is.....not. It's SO boring. I have watched through season 3, hoping it will get better. It hasn't. Not willing to waste any more time on it when there are other show which are so much better. I haven't been able to give a darn about any of the characters, they are all so dull. No one has any personality, and I have been able to figure out whodunit halfway through each show, so not much originality. I think it would be much better without the cringy terrible background music playing happily and jauntily in the background while showing us murdered people and crime scenes...it is very off-putting and makes the show even more hokey than it already is, which seems impossible. I do like Breen; his sarcasm and facial expressions are the only good thing I can say about this boring, embarrassing show. Sorry fans, I just do not get it. I see I am outnumbered here!
Update: since posting this I have been binge-watching Vera, which is SO much better than this show. Also, how the heck does Jared end up being involved in every single blessed case? Is he under a special contract which allows him to be an integral part of everything that happens? The guy who plays him is just not that good of an actor. Well neither is anyone else so he fits in, I suppose.
