Loads of back to back violent scenes is not the only ingredient of a great crime gang series. The attention to detail is poor and at times ludicrous. Example firearms transported across Europe in a hvg in wooden boxes with big red diamond warning labels on... Much like you'd expect to see arms transported. I think it would alert a 5 yr old. The programme basically lumbers from one violent death to another. Infact it got so bad I ended up on Google wondering how many hedgehogs there are in Lancashire. By this time I'd completely lost track of who was shooting who for who and why. If you like loads of violence with no real coherent point with some stylised music imagery.. this might be for you. If you like realism, good story and script ... Might wanna give it a swerve.
