Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 03/05/2025
3/5
It is also uniformly well-acted, with Leanne Best standing out in this ensemble as the distraught mother of the murder victim, and the plotting is solid. Go to Full Review

Lyn A @lynandrews Dec 24 Yet another British drama which highlights the problems with modern culture. This is not to say I didn’t enjoy it. The Brits do drama brilliantly, but hard working women add stress to family life by putting work first. I understand the financial pressures but markets adapt to culture and the necessity for women has become essential as it was once for men. I was pleased to see the pressures of policing tackled, and the need for law and order. See more Maria B @RT55412664 Oct 12 Really enjoyed season 1-4, but what on Earth happened? Sloppy poor and lazy writing with little research, the most laughable Offstead inspection ever, a Police Officer expecting another Police Officer to break rules and regulations, and getting prissy when it did not happen, an Atomic Police Officer explaining chemicals……. I gave up at that stage. Do the Executive Producers not read the script before filming? I seriously feel as if they just think that the viewer is not important, they watch anything.

See more Jerry S @RT04250348 03/11/2025 Couldn't finish this season. The actors do their best but some of the writing and direction is poor. For example one episode includes the most laughable depiction of an OFSTED inspection I have ever seen on screen. The portrayal of the team leader's developing crisis was very disappointing. Sorry - I enjoyed previous seasons but the basics are off here. As Dorothy Parker put it, I've had a lovely time but this wasn't it.
