No Offence: Series 3

Starring: Elaine Cassidy, Joanna Scanlan, Alexandra Roach, et al.

Hard challenges await the Friday Street Station as the "darkly comic police drama praised for its strong female characters" (Radio Times, UK) returns. Series 3 finds dynamic DI Vivienne Deering (Joanna Scanlan, Notes on a Scandal) and her team providing security at a contentious election debate, but tragedy strikes when a gunman attempts to assassinate one of the candidates. Deering and her right-hand woman, DC Dinah Kowalska (Elaine Cassidy, Acceptable Risk), vow to apprehend the culprit, despite warnings from their superiors that the investigation could jeopardize an undercover officer who has infiltrated an extreme right-wing group. Will Deering get justice for her team, or will her unconventional policing methods finally go too far? Created by legendary writer Paul Abbott (Shameless, State of Play), this award-winning series also stars Will Mellor (Broadchurch), Paul Ritter (Vera), Sharon Rooney (The Tunnel), Claire Rushbrook (Requiem), and Lisa McGrillis (George Gently).

In need of a translator

The TV series 2015 – 2018 is designed to be a standard British witty police comedy-drama. It actually tries to follow the formula. Unfortunately, it has a slew of drawbacks. First, they rattle too fast with a slur of British speech impediments that includes lesser-known idioms. Then, if you cannot make out what they are saying, you can go through the program with subtitles. You will have to pause the action to read the titles and interpret them. Next, we have to think like them to extrapolate anything that is supposed to be humor. The actors who have been in hundreds of other programs are not recognizable and seem amateurish. Then there is no environment, real or imaginary, such as this ridiculous police station. I could go on, but as you have guessed, I did not finish the series, as I have no intention of wasting time that can be spent on good programs. Even “Dr. Who” is better designed.
