Sex & Violence

Sex & Violence

Leaving the obvious till later this was a well written well acted gripping series of crime stories. It was a shame, but perhaps not unexpected, that several central characters were murdered just as it was getting interesting.

Now to tackle the sex, in the main this neither added nor subtracted and perhaps just made it more everyday, but of course limited this shows audience. I didn't find it either particularly prurient, interesting or totally gratuitous, but it had its moments, and it was certainly not titillating.

The violence was well handled in the main but why was it all dragged out in the last episode, we saw the same scene no less than 4 times.

Of course if the police had a serial killer suspect they would have thrown every resource at it and not taken their time.

My only other observation was practically the whole community was displayed as having little or no moral compass and this in reality is not the case.
