Bulletproof

I'm of an age whom watch Sweeney and The Proffesionals. This series bring it up to date and still has the humour. It's also got 2 stars who work well with each other. It's on my planner...I hope there's a series 2! Clarke is single and moody, Wilson is family man. They both have jobs from hell- dealing with low life's. The Guv' is carol from Easterners. She has her time cut out dealing with Pike and Bishop, as they are keen whippersnappers. If you liked the British cop shows and maybe a few yank ones , you will enjoy this.

I've read some of the reviews and most of the negative comments are just, well..negative. It is what it is. It's got bad language, chases and action. It's shot around the London suburbs. I think there's a bit of writers poetic licence but I love it!

Bulletproof is a UK take on Bad Boys. Its not a bad series either.

Bulletproof captures the vibe found in the Martin Lawrence, Will Smith team up from the mid 1990's. Its a gun toting, fast cars, hard crime, mash up.

The main characters, like Lawrence and Smith's, are "yin to the others yang". One an established family man, the other an on the make bachelor.This helps to establish the dynamic that exists between the two. The clever banter is there too. Much of it comedic and predictable but written well enough to actually offer some depth to the characterisations, as well.

Suffice to say, this is a quality formula that works just as well in a UK context. Indeed, its interesting to see British and I suspect, London cultural nuances, found in this series, as opposed to the US product.

7/10 from me.

The title says it all... Liked how Bish and Pike bounce off each other, reminded me of will Smith and Martin Laurence... Hoping for a season 3

This show had a great Pilot in my opinion, giving you an understanding of both the main characters and their partnership together. It was action pact, not overly dramatic, moments to laugh and really captured the culture of London and what it's like to be from there. I recommend giving it a chance to watch and for it to develop before you criticise on the way it is just because people may not understand the culture behind it.

As a fan of The Sweeney, Starsky and Hutch and all the old car chase cop shows I thought this was a really good effort to bring the old format up to date having watched the pilot show. Great entertainment so far. Looking forward to seeing how the series goes.
