The story has really good potential and the concept is great. I am also interested to see how the ongoing corruption from previous series fits in but omg the acting of the two main characters is painful. I put this down mostly to the script. The DS basically spends the whole time explaining police procedure as though he is reading it from a book.
When they questioned the cop in the hospital or the civilian member of staff they sounded forced and insincere.
Stephen Graham came across well as did the main female protagonist.
I feel awful as the two main cop actors seem competent but the script is awful. I know the DS is probably quite realistic in the way interviews flow but it just seems so false.
It is the same problem I had with Bodyguard. Great story idea poorly executed.
Let's hope the story keeps it tight and exciting and we can hopefully overlook the script and it's delivery.
