I was really hoping this was going to be good but it's got progressively worse. Tonight's was cringeworthy and does nothing for the fine people of Brighton & Hove.

Embarrassingly poor. Turned it off tonight. Won't be watching again.

This...
I said the same to my wife.
Ridiculous scene. Impossible to buy into the dilemma portrayed. Especially the post event 'ticking off back at the station.'
Next worst scene was the free runner sequence, culminating with the 'gay son snog discovery'.

If this is the best the Beeb can do on a prime time slot, then it doesn't bode well for them.
This drama would have looked bad on a crap cable station.

I will have you know South Sussex Police are at the forefront of crime.

Kinda, yes. But it presents 50 percent of people as gay, slightly weird and on drugs. Wheras it's nearer 40.
More objectionable is that 60 percent of the accents are northern.

Why was everyone panicking about stepping on the railway line, it was a bl**dy steam line, so no electric rail to tread on.
It was like a poor man's remake of The Railway Children, substituting hi-viz jacket for petticoat!
Oh and while I am at it, what were the two Brighton coppers doing 16 miles away on the Bluebell railway. If the show is supposed to be about Brighton based police then they should stick to Brighton based locations, surely!

I've given up on it now
Wasn't too bad last night, bit more police action.
I've been forced to watch it by Mrs Narly. Whilst elements of it are good, it is f*cking depressing. I'm not sure how much unhappiness I can take in an hour tv show. It ticks all the right boxes for a continued police soap opera, rather than a police/crime procedural, and for that very reason I will be knocking it on the head very soon I'm sure.

Although whoever was in charge of continuity needs to be sacked, the van which the villains where in with the stolen ATM crashes into the chiefs car in the car park, and the front of the van is damaged, but when they catch up with the villains at the farm, no damage to the van at all.

I think the series has got progressively better, I just caught up with 3 episodes this week.
Yes spot on, I noticed that.
When the police were waiting to raid the farm buildings I thought they had the wrong place, the pick up truck outside the farm was not damaged at all.

I'm worried about you bn9 bha - you need to come out with our lot
It is on Wednesday nights Simmo, Cuffs is pretty exciting after spending the day in a loft or a kitchen cupboard.
