Good OTT drama but...
10 June 2023
It's supposed to be a standard Police procedural about the "unique dangers" faced in Belfast but....it's more of an OTT soap opera style drama. There's lots of drama (psychodrama). As a Police procedural it's riddled with inconsistencies and downright howlers (rookie cop who isn't authorised to carry a firearm outside the firing range has a service weapon by the bed)....the list goes on. The vehicles the cops use all are standard mainland cop cars, not armoured vehicles. Yes, the PSNI do use a lot of standard cop cars these days but not when they know they're going into dangerous crowd disorder situations. But by putting them in unarmored cars increases the drama value.

As a drama it's quite entertaining. As a Police procedural it's not that good.
