I was getting into this until the Iranian dude somehow got amnesia, but then the plot thickened after seeing the reason why he may have turned into the stupidest person possible in this 4 part Lifetime crime thriller, where finally after watching 10s of U. K. crime miniseries this year, these coppers have both guns and pepper spray?! That's what saved this for me, for it beguiles me that these fictional shows have cops running after serial killers into back alleys without a weapon, many times they have to look for something after they've closed in on a dangerous suspect that's already murdered several people. It ruins the moment, which is why I always take a point off no matter how good that series was like "The Devil's Hour" when unarmed cop DI Ravi Dhillon (Nikesh Patel) runs into an abandoned building, then dark alleyways after killers leaving his cellphone in his vehicle, as well, ends up getting the crap beaten out of him because he's an idiot with a badge. Since they're fictional movies, then give coppers weapons so they don't look like grade school hall monitors chasing after murderers, geeez! The first time I really noticed this was while watching "Endeavour", I couldn't believe this is really how British detectives track murderers all the way up on a roof to apprehend them? Lol. I stopped watching it because of this, but eventually I got worn down as I began to fall in love with the quality of British television crime shows.
Okay, so back to the show, Sergeant Gibbs (Rachel Griffiths) character, with her lollipops, i guess is supposedly a female Kojack or what, but based on her slow speech sounds like she's been sucking on thc infused lollipops, it's a bit annoying being she's too young to be acting like the seasoned detective Kodak was, and what's with every Asian cop being this fragile rookie character afraid of his or her own shadow? I can recall 3 lower ranked coppers like that, 2 were women. At least this series didn't make it appear like their population has a 40% Black population, where it appears every 3rd character stems from Sub-Saharan Africa in so many of these U. K. series, and some Australian shows too, and this is coming from, I know it's cliche to say, a Black person, lol. I just want to see the proper % of the type of people who authentically resides in those towns and cities. But where were the Aboriginal actors here, I saw only 1 actor Matt Babel as SWAT captain Matt O'Reilly. Oh, well.
That police badge flinging incident inquiry moment was stupid.
Again, great, cops had weapons to fight crime, but the series came across like an afternoon Lifetime series with the typical brainless college kids running around getting in the way.
