Plod, plod, plod, it went. That said, it wasn't quite as bland as McDonald & Dodds or Midsomer Murders, as there was a horrific twist which did shred my nerves, but otherwise it was generic business as usual. Go to Full Review

No. Just no. If you haven't yet seen Grace then consider this a friendly warning to brace yourself. Or, actually, don't watch it at all. Especially if you have claustrophobic tendencies, which I do. This was torture by television. Go to Full Review

Grace is one of those dramas in which you shouldn't think too hard about plot points. Go to Full Review

3/5
Despite the pre-watershed kick-off time, there are scenes here which will have you climbing up the walls in anxiety when the prospective groom is victim to a lads' prank that goes as badly wrong as you could imagine. Go to Full Review

Per S @RT83737705 Jun 7 More overrated English TV crime, idling on an exhausted recipe. Created to employ people in the business. See more Don B @RT68315424 May 23 Lazy, lazy writing that relies so much on coincidence that you’ll go mad if you try to actually make sense of it. And then there’s the missing wife twist. What can I say about that? Clearly, the writers felt that their ability to write police procedurals was not up to snuff, so they relied on Lost-style melodrama to try to hold viewers’ attention. All I can say is that Jane Tennison would not spend any time looking for a missing ex lover. She would just pour another drink and get on with the investigation.

See more Nina S. @RT_NESt Feb 1 Enjoyable - interesting characters See more Dante R @RT39850236 04/09/2025 I've watched 👀 the show since the beginning but it's absolutely insane for the police not to have guns & run from the criminals that do. I'm from insane amerikkka but the police everywhere should be able to use deadly force against a suspected criminal if self defense is required. That part I don't understand about London.
