I'm surprised (or perhaps sadly not too surprised) by all the negative reviews of this programme. I was engrossed and watched all four episodes. I've given up on many new series this winter after one or two just because I was bored.
First, it was good to have something different from the usual girl/woman on a slab/missing police procedural with the standard quirky/damaged police investigator. This is set in a workplace and there are too few programmes or films set in places where most of us work i.e. Not in a police station.
As for claims that it was all too implausible well so is most drama because it has a beginning, middle and end - a resolution when in real life there isn't one. And as for boozy workplace parties, sorry work events - well I can't think of anywhere that's had those recently. Not just plausible very topical.
I will say that the writers didn't need to cram in quite so many current stories - sexual harassment in the workplace, toxic workplace culture, children watching porn, abusive men/partners, activism. That is a flaw.
And it is nice to have more of a female focus to a drama although I accept that not all the men needed to be out and out beasts. There are some good ones out there. I also liked that a main character was actually Indian with a culture and plausible family and not just a brown person with a western name and no connection to their culture or background.
