I quite enjoyed it.
It's a fictional drama, not a documentary. Who give a shit about the minute detail of continuity?

I thougt it was alright too, especially as I now live outside Brighton, it's lovely to see some of my old haunts.

I've just caught up with it on iPlayer. Reading this thread I was expecting the worst but it was actually pretty good, some interesting character development. You can see the plot coming a mile away, mind.

I also think it's got potential. Trouble is that when you know the area you look out for continuity 'errors' of somebody running down one street and coming out miles away. It's fiction, enjoy!

And another is in Mona Lisa when they are driving to Brighton down the a23 at handcross and pull into the happy eater on the other side of the road. But I think it does matter. If only because that's what you remember, as a local, so it ruins it. To see it done well watch the chase sequence in the original Brighton rock. Dickie runs down queens road in the way you would. Not flouncy like, just the direction ;-)

I thought it was ok for a first episode.
Did anyone notice the Solicitor at the end leave the underground police car park against a red light?
Where was the 'Council house' that had crittal windows? The one where the bloke eventually hanged himself.

agree some of the comments here have been OTT, but "interesting" character development? going to far the other way. tired cliched coppers abound.
Don't be such a party pooper.

I found it ok, it will improve, the first one is setting out the characters etc, also like others who have moved away from Brighton, it is great, seeing and trying to identify areas

It was scene setting at first and it gives a good window for Brighton, has great potential in my view
I watched it in two sittings. Practically painless.

Anyone worked out how they managed to get from Saltdean to Mill Road and then to the University so quickly?

I'm a bit torn. I watched it all - thought bits were OK and others parts shockingly bad.
The racist attack was pretty ridiculous though. At first when the lad was parking his bike up outside I thought they were going to nick it or simply buckle the wheel. That would of been much more realistic for Brighton than stabbing the chap for no reason with a screwdriver (no kinves available?).
Guess that wouldnt have made much of a show though.....just like the real police show earlier in the year.
