Bad lighting made parts of the show unwatchable. Whoever was in charge of the lighting was asleep during filming! Went a little overboard on the racism angle although not to the point where I’d politicize it like. One eejit called the show a bunch of “WOKE garbage”or something like that. I thought the show was entertaining at best. It met that expectation. Acting was decent not bad but not great either. I liked Ali’s Hodge as Alex Cross. But Ryan Eggold was excellent

This tv series from 2011 - 2016 is a 10/10. It is a classic gritty British police procedural. Lesley Sharp as Janet Scott is the “grown-up” of the two. An experienced copper is like the older sister of the two. She’s incredibly funny with conversational zingers that she serves up to Rachel Bailey, played by Suranne Jones. They’re relatively new partners in the beginning and their friendship blossoms further throughout the series. Rachel is 15 years younger. She comes off slightly ditzy, but she’s very sharp, funny and playful. Gorgeous as she is, Rachel doesn’t back down from a scuffle in the line of duty. Then, there’s the boss, Gill Murray. She’s razor sharp smart as the Queen of coppers and one-liners. She runs the team of MIT (Major Incidents Team), runs her crew in a tight manner, and relies on the dynamic duo of Scott & Bailey to play a key role in solving complex cases. Tension in the storylines find relief from comedic script elements. It’s a great ride and a lot of fun! You’ll wish for double the amount of episodes in the end!

A worthwhile but difficult read. It’s written in mid 20th century British English. I found the storylines very confusing being so circuitous I couldn’t help but yearn for a more modern version. I often had to read a sentence 4 times to digest Ms. Rey’s prose. One that was straightforward and easy to understand with contemporary vocabulary. What took hours to read, 3 weeks overall for a 200 page book should have taken only a few hours, 2-3 days would have gotten the job done.
