Incredibly frustrating for the viewer
A series following UK police interceptors.
Actually a pretty binge-able series, this is a procedural reality show that you could have on the background or get sucked into, depending on your mood.
I actually quite enjoy it. The narration is pretty cringe-worthy, but I like to think in a way that's pretty self aware...I hope.
What it does highlight is how hard the Police work, not only on tracking known criminals, but spotting potential criminals out of intuition. And the amount of resources sometimes required to apprehend one person. I've seen some reviewers comment about how some white people are blurred when black people are not. They clearly don't understand that in the UK you can ask to have your image obstructed after filming. They really do have to take so much abuse for just doing their jobs - imagine being sworn and spat at just for doing your desk job?? It's clearly a vocation.
The frustration is with the sentencing. Not even the sentencing itself. It clearly depends on their age, factors and previous history, but the amount of work the police put in, and the danger they put themselves in, for what is frequently a very lenient outcome, is frequently infuriating!

Excellent "fly on the wall" documentary
You might think this is all about cops racing around in a menagerie of hot Japanese rally cars. If you're looking for high octane, high pitch commentary over endlessly repeated 60 second clips forget it. This is good, measured documentary making.
The fly-on-the-wall style follows the exploits of an Essex traffic cop team, this show mixes that feel-good detail on how the police go about their business with allowing characters to come through. Segments vary from following full operations from start to finish to those random moments where the police demonstrate the better side of judgement. Everything from routine traffic stops to drugs-busts to changing helicopter engines(!)
Over the top of this is Chris Fox's measured commentary. And unlike quite a few other shows he seems to know when to let the on-screen action speak for itself.

Nausiatingly boring
What a waste of time. PMaking tv stars out of police personnel. Police allowing cars to get away so they can have a chase for good tv. How come the criminals are better drivers than police. Magbe they should give ghem lessons on how to drive. A total waste of resources when no-one is charged or useless sentences handed down. I used to love it, but it's infuriating.
incredible
Peak british entertainment, perfect 11am viewing, love the officer intros they always make me chuckle, music is always awesome, again.. peak british entertainment. Love that it's always in yorkshire makes me feel proper at home, car chases in leeds/bradford are always the best. As soon as i hear that intro music from my living room i run downstairs and sit enthralled with my cup of tea in hand, biscuit tin on the table. Me and my dad love a good afternoon of watching police interceptors together and giggling at the comebacks the criminals come up with, excellent bonding for all the family. 100% would recommend xx.
Enjoyable to watch.
If you're interested in policing and traffic pursuits in the UK this show is for you.
