Ignore the whinging of the few, if you love British cop shows you'll enjoy this delightful series. I'm so, so glad that a second series is said to be in the pipeline! As another reviewer said, there's not really much gore, which is a big relief to me: I'm really fed up with the gratuitous dwelling on horror in some series. The cops don't moralise either, also refreshing. The only irritant for me is DI Max Arnold's nasty ex, Astrid. Does she really have to be so hateful??
Complaints that this show isn't realistic are absurd: if you want to drown yourself in grim, depressing reality, there's plenty of true crime about. Believe me, I've watched it. We don't watch these programs to learn about reality, but for mature, intelligent entertainment and escapism. No shame in that.
