Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

This is How Movies Should Be Made

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I watched season 1 and 2 and thought they were OK but felt that season 3 was the best!All the actors in the new or latest season are really excellent! And the story-lines better than before. I would TOTALLY disagree with a couple of comments who say the writing is bad etc. This is totally untrue, maybe in S1 & S2 the story lines weren't as strong as in S3, this I would agree with. The strength in S3 far beats the other seasons, far superior in acting overall I would say.I much prefer Annie Taylor's character to Gina Dawson's! It really brought the to life!Enjoying the repeats

I purchased two seasons of this series on DVD expecting it to be an intelligently written and directed period drama. I could not have been more wrong! Words fail me to describe how absolutely awful this series is. The writing is monumentally crude and heavy-handed - imagine an episode of a third-rate soap opera, and then, if you can, think of something many, many times dumber and cruder than that. Just wallopingly dumb and over-done. And then there's absolutely no sign that anything was done in the direction to try to introduce any subtlety or intelligence. With writing and direction like that, it's really not fair to even try to judge the actors - I'd imagine with better material most of them would be thoroughly professional. I really just could not believe how absolutely dreadful this was. The production values are OK - they spent some money on costumes and props. But... could the writers and directors really be this bad? Or are they just cynics who believe that only dreadful, crude, heavy-handed trash will succeed with the public? I don't know. But seriously, don't expect anything in the way of competence or finesse from this series. It is beyond dreadful.

The series is about Gina Dawson's, who is one of the first WPCs(Woman Police Constable), life as female police officer at precinct where dominated by male in West Midlands. Naturally She faces some difficulties as a woman because time is 1950s and it is the peak of the sexism and also awaking of the male protest. WPC 56's genre contains both drama and comedy and also beauty of the Jennie Jacques. There is an aspect, a thing thing that I can distinguish WPC 56 than other TV series. İt is not about the story telling or acting performance. Even I do like the both of them, there is an original shade in TV series. Both TV series focuses the female police officer's life and her life that is made difficult by her family, colleagues and dominant culture ideology of her community at that years, WPC 56 shows us and it take us an journey that how conditions of woman in business are in first. Also it offers us a compression about woman in the field that dominated by male between past and present. Consequently it is a great series to witness an era and discover how the woman rights and woman in business life comes far from past to present. I hope that there are more TV shows like WPC 56. I like that kind of series that there is real cause to makes it. So I rate it 8/10 because it deserves that. Acting, storytelling, scenario and reflection of an era when tells struggle of women are very fascinating.

We really enjoyed this series. We thought that the plotting was very good and riveting. The acting was pretty lifelike, and we felt that the series captured the 50's environment very well. We can remember the drabness of this era very well and we thought that the series captured this very well, even better than in "Call The Midwife" which gives a much glossier view.Why oh why was it shown in the early afternoon though. Possibly not suitable for a pre9.00pm showing, but we thought it would make a great replacement for the much missed "The BIll".Please BBC give us another series, but at a better viewing time, where it can get a lot more viewers, than those of us who can watch in the afternoon, and even then we had to record it to playback at tea-time. :-)
