Too much of everything
... View MoreExcellent, Without a doubt!!
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
... View MoreI'm not going to beat about the bush; I am a big fan of this show. In my opinion it bears up to repeat watching, with added layers of subtle humour and plot detail being borne out by doing so. I think it may be destined to be somewhat of a cult classic. Familiarity with the characters seems to be where a lot of the best humour in the show can come from. Drawing from such a huge range of influences and references (any cop show on TV ever it seems) also seems to be one of the shows strong points. Chief is certainly my favourite character and there are quite a few scenes of his that always make me laugh out loud each time I see them. Some of his lines and facial expressions are just priceless; basically anything he says seems to be comedy gold mostly because of the intensity which the actor Donovan Blackwood gives to each line delivered. The lead characters John Mahogany and Mitch Rust (JCPD cops and partners) become more endearing as you get to know them, their frequent incompetency being one of the major sources of laughs for the whole series. Helga (forensic specialist) and Zach (communications specialist) the other two main supporting characters both hit the mark in providing extra comedy dimensions to the scenes they are in. Other highlights to look out for are any of the interactions between cockney crime boss Harry McCrane and his staff in episode 1, any of the 'acting' in episode 2, any interrogation by John and Mitch, MFI, Robot Cop and the surprisingly catchy and highly literal background songs sung by the cast. My only negative comment is that the script writers very very occasionally are slightly coarser in their humour than is fitting with the overall feeling of the show; this could be off putting for some more casual viewers. I would say that if you are a fan of the slightly abstract humour of shows like Father Ted and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace then there is a high chance you will appreciate this show.
... View MoreI must say this is the funniest show I have seen in a while. The plot lines are so outrageously in-your-face silly that it just.....works. The characters develop so well over the course of the series and the plot lines are a real throwback to every cop show we've seen and loved/hated over the years. The special guest characters make each individual episode unique and keep it fresh. It may not be everyone's cup of tea and donut but it certainly has an appeal to a big audience who are crying out for something now and out-of-the-box. It looks like it has just been moved from BBC3 to BBC2 also which is a vote of confidence from the Beeb. Good show 8/10
... View MoreThis show if exceptionally funny. Many people have been complaining about the show after watching the first episode, which in my opinion is the worst episode. Its still funny but does not compare to the second and third episodes. If I were you I would definitely give the show a go and don't stop watching after one episode It has guest stars Rich Fulcher and Simon Farnaby ( Both of which starred in the comedy 'The Mighty Boosh' Which is also worth a shot. The humor in the show is not for everyone but frankly I love it. The characters are all very cheesy but the cheesiness is played off so well in this, Chief is one of my favorite characters just due to the fact that he is what every 80's cop is imagined as. Watch this show. Its worth it
... View MoreMitch Rust and John Mahogany are working for the JCPD, Justice City Police department, battling crime.I've watched all the episodes so far, and I can't decide if I utterly love or utterly hate it, every Police cliché is intentionally done, and sometimes it works, and sometimes i've been sat here thinking did they really just.....The silly side of me is quite enjoying it, and I can't help sniggering at some of the jokes, Steen Raskopoulos has a kind of Michael Fassbender vibe which is by no means a bad thing.I'll have to keep watching, even if it's just for more loudness from Di Botcher, or the sternness of Helga, it's so bad it's rather funny. 6/10
