Yeah, predictable. Not the show itself, the IMDb reviews, at least the ones posted so far. I read a 4/5 review in the paper so decided to give it a go. Intriguing story, well acted as far as I can tell (I'm no drama expert but I know what I like). Just one point, given that there was a fatal incident involving the tower block, why was free access still available to anyone who happens to be passing by? Yes, there's certainly some mistakes made by the police. Does that not happen, ever? I think we know the answer to that.
It's predictable that if the lead in a tv show is not a straight white man, there'll be complaints. It's as if the past 100 years or more of film making and how many (60?) of tv shows featuring almost exclusively straight white men with perhaps a minor role for a woman as someone's wife or the secretary, was not enough. Even today, there is no shortage of tv shows with straight white men in the lead.
Some people are women, some are gay, some are not white. Get over it. Or switch off. It's Not compulsory to watch any particular show. No it is NOT always a gay woman in the lead. Try Lewis. It's got that Laurence Fox in it, I expect he'd meet the approval of one of the reviewers here. Or try Guilt, Shetland or Time.
NB I'm a straight white middle aged woman. I don't care if the lead isn't a straight white man. In fact I rejoice that some of my friends can see someone like themselves on tv occasionally.
Anyone missing Line of Duty will probably enjoy this.
