This is a largely dull and frequently quite boring police drama. It has nothing to draw viewers in beyond the main story; while there are efforts to develop 'back stories' for some of the characters, they're weak and uninteresting. The lead character, Roy Grace, has all the charisma of a rice pudding, while being beset with the usual luggage from his past which seems to pervade all television drama nowadays. There are plenty of nods to modern policing and general behaviour, as opposed to the actions of misogynistic nasty guys of days gone by and, frankly it's not even very well done. The production is jerky and the script pretty basic; it's the type of drama which can be turned out with very little effort and isn't even average. 3 out of 10 is the best I can give it.
