    Gritty drama good realism 7.5/10



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,720 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    Watched episode 1 not too bad.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,461 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Watched it all on the player.

    Enjoyed it, a solid 7.5 or 8/10 for me, even though some of the characters were a little stereotypical.

    Enjoying this, 4 in, 2 to go.

    I like the realism of the Police cars having the bullet proof glass and the feeling they are constantly targets when they police the community, something that isn't the same issue even in the roughest parts of England.

    I watched episode one and the ex-social worker did my head in. It was as if she were talking to a four year-old all the time, no matter who she was talking to. I don't know if I can listen to her for another 5 episodes. 😜

    I've watched 2 episodes, I'm enjoying it, if I could find it on the player I'd binge the rest.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Dave0301


    Her stupidity is really annoying and distracting from what could be a good show. Only watched the first episode so maybe she gets better.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,344 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    Who does she think she is, treating people with basic respect and humanity.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,278 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    In reality, most social workers are as hard as nails with what they've had to put up with, and they can treat people with respect and humanity without treating them like children.

    The Grace character, and how she acts, is a work of fiction. 😜

    Well, yes, literally, all the characters are a work of fiction.

    Just catching up on this now. Think it's interesting how they look at the different approach and moral compass of the officers, the new recruits as opposed to the old guard.

    Causes problems in the organization.

    The young recruit, Annie, reminds me of Bosch's daughter

    Episode 4 chaos all of a sudden , too much of it

    I'll probably see it out anyhow



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,344 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    Excellent finish to the series, nicely wrapped up



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,701 ✭✭✭Lisha


    I really enjoyed blue lights. Thought it was v well portrayed



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 889 ✭✭✭Duvet Day


    Thoroughly enjoyed it, very well done.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,970 ✭✭✭Mike Litoris


    That was really really good!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Did you smash it


    watching first episode. Anyone explain why they didn’t charge the dangerous driver with dangerous driving?

    Really enjoyed the series overall glad to see more on the way.

    One real weak link and I know he was only in a few episodes Peter Campion...bloody awful actor, terrible accent.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,344 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    What accent? He was brought up in Dublin, and he’s playing a Dub again, as he did in Love Hate.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,720 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    I am aware.... his normal Dublin accent would have been fine, but that put on scanger accent was absymal. He is just an awful actor, terrible in London Irish and anything else I have seen him in

    Enjoyed this, looking forward to Series 2, however...

    It's just a pity they killed off Gerry, show needs similar streetwise character teaching the rookies.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,720 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    I agree

    He was a real stand out acting wise.

    I am guessing at least some room for new characters for season 2.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,450 ✭✭✭Bredabe


    At the end of series 4(the full moon one) who was the actress who spoke with the ombudsman? I recognise the voice but not the face.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,790 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy


    I can only assume there were no initial plans for a second season, as it was wrapped up very nicely. Not sure where they go next. I really enjoyed it thou



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,184 ✭✭✭waywill1966


    Did RTE pick this up yet or did I miss it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,925 ✭✭✭brian_t
