The Loch

Pretty good overall with a decent plot and twist in the tail. Solid cast and location filming is very good. The last series the wonderful John Sessions ever appeared in.

C'mon! How many boxes did they tick covering every stereotype possible.

Taking care not to add spoilers: Out of town cops v in-town cops= friction. Kids that don't obey, and lie.

Requisite minorities included, bad guy shrinks. Husband feeling neglected because wife has a life- (but isn't particularly honorable to her) Stopping here, before spoilers, I just wanted to say that the "Paint-by-numbers" plots these shows have are getting awfully tedious. Four episodes in, and if I spend a minute, I bet I can solve this by figuring out what box isn't yet ticked off! Aren't there any original writers out there? With new ideas? GREAT SCENERY!!!

I use IMDb to give me a steer on whats hot and whats not. Having read a poor review on The Loch, I felt compelled to level the field.

I'm a big fan of Broadchurch and similar crime dramas. This one is no pup. Its developing characters and a complex story-line to compete with the best.

All of the characters are interesting and there are many plot lines and angles on this web of a story.

My only complaint is that its a series and I have to wait a week for the next episode.

If I could, I would give it a 7.5, just not quite an 8. I only felt compelled to give a review because I saw negative reviews by a lot of stuffed shirts. I think it has a compelling way of telling the story from the female cop's perspective. Does that make it "feminist" or "politically correct"? Of course not. Get over yourself, whoever said that! Just another misogynist pig trying to shuck it off as politically correct.

The way it ties in the different murders is as realistic as many American cop shows I've seen. I like how there is some irreverent humor from the younger characters.

I'm not the typical reviewer but felt I needed to add some of these other reviewers are stuffed shirts.

I really liked the first couple of episodes, but subsequent episodes were lacking. Quite a bit seemed contrived, and somewhat fantastic/unreal at the same time. The last 2-3 episodes I stayed in because I wanted to see how it ended, but it felt a waste of time overall.
