A fantastic show!! Casting did a terrific job, the actors are so good, perfect! The story lines are good very real to life, I can imagine that is just what it is like out there on the front lines for the police. I like that it is in Brighton. I am so disappointed there is only one series. Why were more not made? Whoever made the stupid decision to end this excellent series should be fired!!

First 5 minutes I thought "I'm not watching this" and the next 5 minutes caught me. Absolutely. Clever-smart.

This is a wonderful cross-over of (perhaps only) British black humor and the serious world of police work and its diversity, violence and opposition to violence, social and mental problems, politics of policing, and the personal. You need societal knowledge and empathy to understand all the links.

The USA police, maybe the whole nation, should watch this series because the underlying message is so positive. and so negative to US policing methods today.

Please. Laugh and cry, enjoy.

This is extreme, but I think the best since Monty Python.

As an aside, of course, I think we have a peak of British TV scripting, directing, cinematography, acting going on, and this comes out near the top.

I came across this show a few weeks ago in Australia - I'm am hooked! I love the characters & storyline. This show has so much potential to go on with many seasons to come .. just look at the success of Law & Order, CSI & SVU just to name a few. I'm finding the UK based shows do this regularly to us just to torture us ..? Maybe. For eg, Doc Martin- another brilliant UK show that I've been reading season 10 will be the last - WHY?? Miss Scarlet & the Duke is another show I look forward to watching (not sure how many seasons are planned for that ) Do we need Rapper Drake to intervene here also ? Can someone for the love of everything that is good in England please continue with these amazing shows-please!

I really like this show, and I can't believe there's only 8 episodes of it!

I quite liked the dynamics between the officers and between the detectives. I felt like each person had a distinct personality, that would have been so great to see unfold. I honestly ended up liking the people I didn't really care for in the beginning - and even the people I didn't like in the end, I couldn't really bring myself to hate.

I love how some of the main characters are homosexual police officers, and I would honestly have liked a bit more focus on their relationships (especially between Jake and Simon), as that seemed slightly rushed for my taste.

All in all a really good show, that I can only recommend - it's definitely worth watching those 8 episodes.

Great character development and an entertaining account of personal and professional challenges in a Brighton police department. Good script and wonderful acting. A diverse cast with equally diverse characters under represented in many current shows. A real shame that the BBC didn't renew it. Shows of this caliber are hard to come by.
