Most original and magnetic program in years. First 5 minutes I thought "I'm not watching this" and the next 5 minutes caught me. Absolutely. Clever-smart.
This is a wonderful cross-over of (perhaps only) British black humor and the serious world of police work and its diversity, violence and opposition to violence, social and mental problems, politics of policing, and the personal. You need societal knowledge and empathy to understand all the links.
The USA police, maybe the whole nation, should watch this series because the underlying message is so positive. and so negative to US policing methods today.
Please. Laugh and cry, enjoy.
This is extreme, but I think the best since Monty Python.
As an aside, of course, I think we have a peak of British TV scripting, directing, cinematography, acting going on, and this comes out near the top.
