Bang

Pity this series is in both English & Welsh language. Found this annoying.

Just one language would have been much better. Why chopping from one to the other during same scene/conversation?

The rugged backdrop of Port Talbot works incredibly well as the backdrop for this compelling Welsh drama. Mostly spoken in Welsh, with sections in English, it gives the drama a unique appeal. It's a fantastic story, multi layered and deep. If I'm honest I found the first episode a little slow, but after that it's literally all guns blazing.

There's a fact of Welsh (and Scottish) talent on show, and although Gina appears to be the focal point, the story focused more so on her troubled brother Sam. The cast are terrific, Jacob Ifan is a standout, you get the impression that he truly is a troubled character.

Some violence, some shocking scenes, it is incredibly gritty. We get to see the real Port Talbot, we also get some incredible shots of the areas around it, which are remarkable.

It's in the same mould as Hidden and Hinterland, so if you enjoyed those, you will love this. I hugely recommend it.

The most interesting thing about this series is that fact that it is performed in English and Welsh. Other than that, it is absolute rubbish that is at the level of a university drama project that is done for academic credit! The script is all over the place and not well thought out. It contains a mass of tangled stories, some of which are related to the plot, others are not. The writing and dialog is childish. The ending makes it look as if there might be a second series but hopefully we will be spared that suffering. There have been better series coming out of Wales in recent years. This one is just not one of those.

We almost didn't start this show because of the 6.6 rating. But we have learned over time that some "foreign" shows don't get a good shake.

We enjoyed it a lot because it's quite atmospheric & quirky. Probably if you like American cop shows this isn't for you.

We are hoping for s season 3.

Was that rubbish I just sat through? Dopey cops, a pathetic brother to one of the dopey cops, cardboard cut-out "baddies". Did I mention the brother is a moron? Actually, so is the cop sister.

Having them speak Welsh was neither here nor there as a plot point. In fact as the plot was all over the shop, they could have spoken Swahili and it wouldn't have made it any more ridiculous.
