Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

John (opsbooks) It took me a couple of episodes to get into this series. It was the great characters and corresponding acting performances which won me over. By the time the final episode arrived it had become a "must watch" series, just as "The Bill" had in the 1990s. I was both amazed and shocked to read that the BBC had axed it! One has to ask "why?" and the answer has to be adverse reactions from those above in a time when the Powers that run the BBC are living in fear of being seen to support minority groups within the upper echelons of Society. Although they like to display political correctness on the surface, in reality, they are no different to the great majority of viewers.

pperkins-15552 I don't usually write reviews but I became so cross when I heard that 'Cuffs' was axed. I just could not understand this decision and wrote straight away to Ben Stevenson who chooses drama at the BBC. Cuffs is a brilliant programme, wonderful acting, clever story lines ... a programme which entertains as well as educating. I am 72 so you can imagine the load of rubbish I have seen throughout the years and suddenly this gem of a series crops up. I nearly missed it as I don't usually start watching anything until 9 pm. I have two grandchildren of 16 and 18 and this is the kind of programme they enjoy...much better than the rubbish and unbelievable story lines of programmes like Eastenders which I never watch. What is the BBC doing about this mistake? Please use some sense and bring this series back. Polly Perkins

Dave TheDoorman A tedious attempt at re-launching a parochial branch of The Bill, without the well-written script, long-established characters and solid story-line.The characters are unrealistic, and unlike-able as is the script, with politically correct nonsense taking the place of believable comments from minute one.Generally, the acting is abysmal, even though there are several tried and tested professionals involved, but otherwise the cast do not really deserve to hold their equity cards. The script leaves a great deal to be desired too, maybe the writers felt shackled by extreme PC or perhaps they are simply the new breed of BBC writer, who lack the ability to impart the charm, empathy and intelligence into their scripts that we have come to expect from the BBC.All in all, this is a very poor effort, not worth watching and needs to be killed off before it gets going. If it never showed another episode, I doubt that 'Points-of-view' would not have a single complaint, as no- one would notice it's deserved demise.Come on BBC - we expect far more from you than this bilge-water!

s3276169 Like most Police services in the West today the UK Police has had more than its share of controversy. The result is a not unreasonable loss of faith and support, on the part of the public. Cuffs comes across as a clumsy attempt to restore the public's jaded opinion of its policing services. So far, this series looks a lot like a cheesy exercise in preachy political correctness, mixed with a blatantly insincere pitch at transparency. The stories are hackneyed too, with the predictable line up of stereotypical villains politicians like to lambaste, mostly to help conceal their own incompetence, greed and criminality. The standard of acting like most UK series is good but really, this fails to make up for this series conspicuous flaws. Three out of ten from me.
