Featured review
Just binged series 1 and what a waste of 4 hours.
I think it's admirable this drive ITV have to have female led police dramas - but you've got to get the casting right. Sarah Parish is a brilliant actress - but there's something really out of place with her - and the actress playing Katherine Stevens was even worse. It's not convincing.
And then you've got the accents - which is a trivial thing to get hung up about - but it really bugged me - it was like the directors would forget about the northern accents and then on the odd scene remember they needed to put them in. It's one of the worst accent continuity issues I've ever seen.
The plot is riddled with holes. Its way too far fetched to be believable - this could never actually happen. And then it just ends - with a whole host of questions unanswered.
It did improve as the series progressed - and I will give series 2 a go as there is potential for this to improve. But my conclusion thus far....Complete and utter drivel
