User Reviews

Laughable

I started to watch this on the basis of the very high scoring reviews on here. I don't have a problem with people liking this, each to their own, but "10" really!?

If you give this a 10 what do you give 'Line of duty' or 'Breaking Bad'?

This is so bad! The script is so cliché you could play a game where you stop the "action" and predict the next sentence. The highlight for me was the opening credits I actually laughed out loud at the theme music, Actually if you haven't watched it, you should just to hear the gratuitous use of the word "Yeah" in the theme. It's like a family guy cutaway of a terrible cop show.
