I enjoyed this series. It has a great story line (albeit without much suspense), fine actors and good pacing (except the "tie up all the loose ends" in the last episode). My intense frustration was my inability to clearly understand the lead character and to a lesser extent, a couple of other main characters. It's not the accent (I'm American), as most of the actors were easily understandable. It's the mumbly, poor enunciation without enough volume. I don't appreciate having to turn son closed captions for a program in English.
I would have rated it higher if I could have simply enjoyed the show without working so hard to understand the lead, and having to do frequent rewinds to catch the dialogue.
A side note to all the reviewers who complain about "man bashing" - this is a police procedural! Most crime, especially violent crime, is committed by men, who also represent the vast majority of the incarcerated population. Watch other genres if you want to see more "good dad" characters.
