The show is a British drama about some local detectives solving various crimes, 1 crime per episode. The focus of the show is on interviewing suspects and solving the crime. It has been portrayed in a documentary style type drama. The first episode was disappointing. The camera was shaky and suspect interviews at the police station was difficult to see due to strong reflective lighting. The plot is predictable and it lacks suspense. All this with substandard acting and story line, let the show down. The second episode was no improvement on the first, same poor lighting and loaded up with profanity as the story line progressed. This is not a show I can foresee being around long in it's current state.
ReplyDeleteMakes a nice change from the formulaic US-style crime dramas with their monologues and maverick cops, pieces to camera and complete absence of false starts, hesitations and incompletions.
ReplyDeleteThe performances (I wanted to say 'scripts', but that doesn't really apply here in the usual sense) are well-judged to contain just enough of the jargon and officialese that marks the dialogue out as belonging to the context of police work and makes it feel believable, but not so laden with it that the actors fall into that pat delivery where emotion has to be overplayed to break through the sheen.
Having a degree of improvisation seems to free the performers up to be both emotive and small-scale; understated and authentic.
(Full disclosure: I do fancy Damien Molony)
The show being shot in and out of focus is intentional, designed to give it that gritty documentary feeling.
ReplyDeleteIn fact I was about halfway through the first episode before I realized it was fiction. When the police started interviewing a minor child on camera I knew this was a drama and was pleasantly surprised! It is a fresh and different take of the ubiquitous Police Drama, I found the characters engaging and the tempo swift and enjoyable.
It is very difficult to bring a new look to Police Dramas with the endless variants of Law and Order, endless shoot'em ups, patience exhausting fist fights, car chases and drool self righteous, crusading dialogue...
I found this a refreshing and realistic police drama. Not for everyone, but worth a look!
