    The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

    There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

    I love this series, wish they could have made more seasons. As far as the swearing goes, not that much different from the programs on HBO Starz and other cable channels. Y always have a choice not to watch it. I think it's a great show and it not scripted.

    Almost finished with the series and it is a bit disappointing. Find that we cannot like or dislike the main characters. They really are nothing. They are so smart that they do not seem to have to stop and think about the situation. They rush around like their tails are on fire. It is amazing that they get so much done in such a short time. I thought that DNA and blood analysis takes a bit longer then what they portray on this show. On this series it is almost instantaneous - that is a bit unreal. They must have CCTV on every street corner. They talk too fast and even with sub-titles it is very hard to follow the dialogue. And please - producers, the background music should be just that - in the background. Again sometimes it is so loud, you cannot hear the dialogue. Very annoying! Saw one scene where they were chasing someone and the camera was following and it was bouncing all over the place - it was a joke. And less we forget, was it necessary for them to use the "F" word in almost every sentence? Sometimes it seemed like it was just dropped in the conversation. What - did the actors receive extra pay for saying it? These were supposed to be professional people. The language was guttural. We will be passing on the 2016 series when it becomes available. Really not worth watching.

    I've watched various episodes of this crime drama series and have rather mixed feelings. The obvious attempt to make it seem realistic works, dodgy camera angles and sometimes rather fuzzy views are just as might happen in the real world, as opposed to the bright, clean world of normal TV drama. Also on the 'plus' side are the story lines which actually work very well.However, the acting seems a bit wooden at times. To me, Fay Ripley is horribly miscast as the lead officer, DI Martha Bellamy. Although I've liked her in other appearances, I really think that her acting ability is very limited and I could never see her as a DI or as the leader of a major police investigation; the support roles are OK, but no one stands out or is particularly appealing. I start asking myself why I should watch this.This is clearly a series designed to try to imitate 'real life' more than many other police dramas manage, and it works on this level. The stories and their development are good; sadly, I don't feel that the cast are really strong enough to carry off the idea.How do I score that ? 8 for the ideas and stories, probably 4 for casting and acting; maybe 6 overall.

    This won't be everyone's cup of tea. But it definitely is mine. Never before has there been a more convincing TV show, in terms of its plots, dialogue and characters, and this is largely down to its unscripted format and documentary-style filming. Naturally, there's never going to be award-winning artistic cinematography or Hollywood-esque dramatic lines, but that's what makes this show different. You get utterly transported into the working lives of the three detectives, as if you're a fourth party watching over their shoulder. With the exception of the first and second episodes of the second series, each episode has its own crime to be solved, meaning that there's no grand story arc to follow, and you can dip in and out of the series; missing an episode is no problem. It's also a breath of fresh air that there's no personal rubbish with the main characters. Sure, sometimes a case gets a little close to home on the occasion, and DI Martha Bellamy noticeably has pictures of her kids on her desk - little touches of believability like that - but other than that, the focus is on the plot and catching the criminal. As it should be.As someone who has grown up watching Poirot, Sherlock, and countless other crime-solving dramas, you'd think they'd have had enough making these things, but nevertheless the plots keep coming, and the plot twists in this show are actually unpredictable. You yourself are a detective, trying to thread the clues together alongside Jack, Martha and Charlie, and it's certainly a tense ride.I feel this show will 'revolutionise crime drama', as The Guardian has said. Although the format is foreign and takes a moment to get used to, it's something I don't regret watching. Well done, Channel 5.
