    Overall, I vote yes

    I enjoyed reading the other reviews, I watch most shows alone so it's great to see how people reacted. Many Scottish people were very turned off, I see. (I'm American. I watch mostly UK shows.) On the whole I'm going to vote yes. It must be because of what a few other people highlighted, it manages to go without the grotesque, the hateful or heavy violence. If something will keep my interest well enough, and not be repugnant, I'm game. I could see where people say this is more afternoon TV than evening. But the older I get the less I can take what seems to be ever-increasing action, violence and intrigue. I finished series 1 and haven't started series 2 yet. Overall, I was decently entertained. The acting is a bit spotty. :)

    Poor acting

    As an Aberdonian I was interested to see this but as much as it was nice seeing a series being filmed in Aberdeen, some of the acting in this was truly awful. A few good roles in it but some of the supporting roles were poor. The music used at times was amateurish as well. Could have been so much better - just hope it doesn't put off people from making more shows in the area. Storyline was also pretty weak to be honest. No major twists. A poor man's line of duty at best. I severely doubt there will be a 2nd series. They'd need to really improve the peripheral acting. Cinematography at times was also a let down.

    Disappointing - but great views of Aberdeen!

    As others have said, not great! On the minus side : pretty amateur acting, hackneyed plot, terrible dialogue, forgettable or exchangeable characters. The most diverse police team in Scotland although clearly no local recruitment? Not an Aberdonian accent to be found (maybe the budget didn't stretch to subtitles for the local Aberdeen/Doric accents?). Some interesting geography around the town, time travel almost required to get from point A to point B.

    Half my stars are for the fabulous views of my hometown Aberdeen. Lovely to see the beach, and the land up by the Torry Battery. No dolphins in the background though......

    Not as bad as some reviews but nowhere near a 10 either

    Fairly contrived and sadly indicative off the "inclusive" BBC of recent times but there is enough to watch if you get past the box ticking casting etc.

    Tha acting on the whole is pretty pedestrian and the lead character is more contrived than necessary. A better development of his back story would have made the story stronger but as this looks for all the world like a work in progress there is plenty of time for that in series 2?!

    If, like me you are a fan of detective/ police series it's watchable but far from great. A couple of the actors make it a hard watch at some points but I think there is potential if the BBC up the budget and look at the cast for any further series.

    Give it a go if there's nothing else to watch if only for the Scottish scenery. OK.

    Sadly Dull

    Another reviewer likened this program to a paint-by-numbers version of art. That is just how I experience it. There is some potential for the lead character and his cultural and family issues to become interesting, but they don't. There is no real tension or depth...to anything. No life in any of the secondary characters; all are predictable types, and mostly poor acting. Then there are the central crime plots: unoriginal, drawn out, and uninteresting to solve. Predictable dialogue and scenarios. No feel for the city either, an underused element of an overall dull series. Wondering if it's written by AI.
