Helen West (2002)
6/10
Much ado about nothing

Warning: Spoilers
I can see why they only had 3 episodes of this. It goes at a languorous pace, and in the episodes I've seen no-one does much work. Amanda Burton plays a Prosecutor who doesn't do any prosecuting-we do get to see her sitting in court-with a detective boyfriend who doesn't do much detecting, and we get to see way to much of their very boring private lives. The vetting of the scripts is very poor; in the second episode a killer finds out his prey's whereabouts without any information being given to him about it. Like too many Brit cop/law shows the process seems riddled with weak discipline and even weaker justice. It's a lazy series, with lazy writing, lazy editing, and......Yawn!
