24 Hours in Police Custody

There are a lot of shows similar to this, plodding documentaries about airport staff and emergency wards, they all seem to be about enjoying a kind of mundane mellow-drama and invoking a sense of superiority as you watch tattooed morons getting caught trying to smuggle cocaine through customs or being treated after getting in a fist fight with their landlord or some other rubbish

this show is nothing like that, every episode follows either one case or a two or three cases, most of which are truly horrifying and you get to see how clumsy and clunky the justice system can be while also understanding that it has to be that way to maintain impartiality and fairness, it's a wonderful insight into a world that really matters.

I never would of heard of this show if it wasn't for Bob Mortimer's hilarious Athletico Mince podcast, I recommend both this show and the podcast highly

I've only seen the first two seasons and so far I really like it. It shows the day to day process that detectives go through to build cases. There's not the flash that are a big part of so many shows, just good honest police work. I want to see more. Highly recommended.

Pure drama that challenges the perception of modern day police work and the modern day accused

Gripping, unpredictable, shocking. A fantastic insight into the Police in Beds/Cambs. Unmissable TV.

I can say (no comment) after watching this show (no comment) that if you want to be a career criminal (no comment) that the best place to do it (no comment) would be in the UK.

Some of the (no comment) sentences given to pretty horrific crimes are (no comment) laughable at best. The show is extremely well done though and the officers are talented (no comment) but 80 percent of the interviews are filled with (no comment). It is definitely worth a watch - albeit a frustrating one.

As a career law enforcement official (no comment) I know that there are flaws, many flaws but after (no comment) many years of dealing with the US Justice system (no comment) I am a bit more thankful however both need fixing and it is depressing. A solid 7.5 for me.
