Having had personal experience with police and liaison officers and investigating police this perfectly portrays the frustration of today when dealing with them. You'd like to think lessons would be learnt but no. They're a frustrating bunch with no sympathy, empathy or common sense. Scary when they're in such positions. But make no mistake the portrayal is very real.
Sheridan is wonderful as always. Seems to be something about her managing to play the rough housewife so well. Remember The Moorside?
Merchant is equality as mesmerising even if he doesn't say a lot. Check out them eyes. Hate to know what the real bloke is like.
The sadness of the ending brought me to tears.
Compelling watch.
