Trigger Point

I don't know about you but I've watched a whole shedload of UK based police dramas and once you learn pretty much anything about how the police have to obey rules, and that there's a methodology to police work, then you get a sense of when something is well written, even though it may be unrealistic.

But this...this.. is just unbelievable in almost every respect.

Countless times it sacrifices any sort of realism for cheap thrills and although I watched it until the end, then that was more because I was laughing at it rather than admiring it.

If you're looking for a reasonably well acted drama but with a mediocre script and an absurd sense of "turn it up to 11" plot where you need constant stimulation then this is for you.

4/10 is about right since it held my attention enough to watch until the end, but it's below average for this sort of production.

Very cheesy with occasional moments of genuine tension but there ends up being so many moments where you end up saying to yourself "really ?" . Disappointing.

Disappointing. So many unbelievable scenes with unexplained actions taken apparently on pure guesswork. More irritating is that there always has to be a senior male character or two who arrogantly overrides or dismisses information coming from the senior female officer despite her being seemingly the only one to discover and isolate a bomb minutes begore it explodes. Not at all credible and pushing the 'Women are just as good or even better at their jobs than men'. I suppose it's payback time for all those 1950's/60's where the hat wearing males treated the women in the same way which was just as annoying.

The same bugbear as usual unfortunately - an enormous amount of money spent on this series, but you still cannot hear all the dialogue, people mutter without moving their lips. Very frustrating to anyone with even a slight hearing impairment. This can easily be fixed, but tv production companies seem to be unable to understand how to record spoken sound properly. I watched a 1950s film on tv earlier and could every word clear as a bell. Just fix it!

Not so sure about all the woke comments but I was generally disappointed with the show. Poor script, run of the mill plot and lots of stupidity. No tension where they thought you would feel it. Light switch scene was rediculas and what bomb squad officer doesn't have their own snips. It might be your cup of tea but it wasn't mine. Ignore the 9s &10s. Fake reviews.
