Customer Reviews

Routine, mundane detective TV program.

Uninteresting detectives do their uninteresting business. We get their personal lives mixed up with their professional lives. There is nothing unique about this program to set it apart from any other standard detective (T.V.) series. The series starts with a “locked-room murder.” I keep watching to see if anything happens. So far, I am not sure why this program has lasted so long, so I will wait and keep looking at more episodes. I use the subtitles to get over the speech impediments; however, the subtitles occasionally misspell words, trying to emulate the British speech impediments. I did learn a new contraction, “gonna” meaning going to. And a new form of potty mouth “A-r-s-e” (look it up.) “s-h-a-g-g-i-n-g” n. 1. A tangle or mass, especially of rough matted hair. You can string words together, “s-h-a-g bandit rubber knickers,” which I cannot find in the dictionary. I am learning many things about a foreign culture: “Top-up card definition: 1. a card you can buy that gives you more time on your mobile phone.” They do not explain it in the show, assuming everyone knows this. Then there is “The UB40 Form,” which was exclusively used in the United Kingdom to claim unemployment benefits. So, after watching a few episodes, then skipping to season 5, now it is ADI Rachel Bailey starting sergeant’s career; however, I realized that this program is going nowhere.
