Beautiful, moving film.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This show is very good and so well done. Only thing I don't like is the constant F bombs. No need and brings the show down a few points.

Almost finished with the series and it is a bit disappointing. Find that we cannot like or dislike the main characters. They really are nothing. They are so smart that they do not seem to have to stop and think about the situation. They rush around like their tails are on fire. It is amazing that they get so much done in such a short time. I thought that DNA and blood analysis takes a bit longer then what they portray on this show. On this series it is almost instantaneous - that is a bit unreal. They must have CCTV on every street corner. They talk too fast and even with sub-titles it is very hard to follow the dialogue. And please - producers, the background music should be just that - in the background. Again sometimes it is so loud, you cannot hear the dialogue. Very annoying! Saw one scene where they were chasing someone and the camera was following and it was bouncing all over the place - it was a joke. And less we forget, was it necessary for them to use the "F" word in almost every sentence? Sometimes it seemed like it was just dropped in the conversation. What - did the actors receive extra pay for saying it? These were supposed to be professional people. The language was guttural. We will be passing on the 2016 series when it becomes available. Really not worth watching.

I've watched various episodes of this crime drama series and have rather mixed feelings. The obvious attempt to make it seem realistic works, dodgy camera angles and sometimes rather fuzzy views are just as might happen in the real world, as opposed to the bright, clean world of normal TV drama. Also on the 'plus' side are the story lines which actually work very well.However, the acting seems a bit wooden at times. To me, Fay Ripley is horribly miscast as the lead officer, DI Martha Bellamy. Although I've liked her in other appearances, I really think that her acting ability is very limited and I could never see her as a DI or as the leader of a major police investigation; the support roles are OK, but no one stands out or is particularly appealing. I start asking myself why I should watch this.This is clearly a series designed to try to imitate 'real life' more than many other police dramas manage, and it works on this level. The stories and their development are good; sadly, I don't feel that the cast are really strong enough to carry off the idea.How do I score that ? 8 for the ideas and stories, probably 4 for casting and acting; maybe 6 overall.

The show being shot in and out of focus is intentional, designed to give it that gritty documentary feeling.In fact I was about halfway through the first episode before I realized it was fiction. When the police started interviewing a minor child on camera I knew this was a drama and was pleasantly surprised! It is a fresh and different take of the ubiquitous Police Drama, I found the characters engaging and the tempo swift and enjoyable.It is very difficult to bring a new look to Police Dramas with the endless variants of Law and Order, endless shoot'em ups, patience exhausting fist fights, car chases and drool self righteous, crusading dialogue...I found this a refreshing and realistic police drama. Not for everyone, but worth a look!
