Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

alvram-64335 I love my Brit series. This one not so much. I did not find it funny or thrilling. In fact, the only thing I felt was pure annoyance as my brain cells died for the stupid situations involved. It's childish, and not entertaining one bit which pains me to say since the Brit Comedy series tend to shine.

s3276169 After the emotionally constipated Cuffs, No Offence, is a "let your hair down and let is all hang out" kind of police drama. There's a dash of Chauncer in this series. The public is crude and oafish, a mischievous bunch, in need of more circumspect forces to keep the chaos at bay. Crudity and what might be called, "earthy" humour, can be found in abundance in this series. This crude edge is softened somewhat by touchy feely, cops with a heart of gold, malarkey. I personally, found it hard to get past the atmosphere of condescension that permeates No Offence. Of the "little people", comprised of a public who are either unaware sheep who need to be protected by the boys and girls in blue or shifty, orcish types, who need to be brought to heel.Viewed as "simple" entertainment No Offence is watchable. That said, its touting the same tired, bland, unconvincing "big government nanny state" message found in just about any mainstream police show you care to name. A message that is starkly at odds with the troubling, Orwellian reality, of contemporary government and policing in the West. Five out of ten from me.

Prismark10 No Offence from Paul Abbott was promoted as some kind of left-field black comedy by Channel 4 if the trailers were anything to go by. I gave it a miss and it was only because of some buzz on a few internet websites I decided to give the first episode a try. It came across as Scott & Bailey with gallows humour and decided my wife would enjoy this. Well she likes Scott & Bailey.We binged watch this over several nights. DI Deering (Joanna Scanlan) is the no nonsense chief in a Manchester precinct which is investigating the death of girls suffering from Downs Syndrome. She likes to have conferences with other female cops in the ladies toilet. There is a strong element of female camaraderie in the series. Each episode has a story of the week as well as the main plot being progressed.No Offence moves along at a brisk pace and with plenty of black humour. I felt the individual weekly stories to be on the weak side. The main arc did have elements of Broadchurch though if you followed the plot hints being dropped as it went along. I thought we might have a curve ball thrown at us but it looks like I did correctly guess the culprit.An enjoyable show but the individual stories needs to be stronger when the series returns. Also I felt that some of the actors were trying too hard with their Mancunian accents, at times they were incomprehensible. I assume the actors were not from Lancashire.It is just a shame that Channel 4 mis-marketed this show.

s_imdb-623 Simply put take characters from a high-school playground, put them in older bodies, give them serious 'life-and-death' jobs like police or jobs requiring long and expensive education, and then move things around quickly with very fast talking, lots of childish and gross observations, bad language, 'common' accents, and spend a lot of time in toilets. Pretend they're doing something serious and good, and the grown children that never left the school playground will love it and watch it and think its the work of a genius, and they'll talk about it with their friends the next day just to show their friends that they are actually smart by association.
