The Vice (1999–2003)
6/10
A decent, but not excellent show
7 January 2024
A hard hitting cop/ detective show based in London

I have lived and worked in Tottenham court road for over 40 years, the area gets Very dangerous and creepy after dark, pimps, druggies, people with mental health, etc

This show explores all of this and more

The acting is above average the storylines are simple and there are not any major plot twists, it is mostly fast paced,but theres also lot of sadness and disturbing scenes

This would have been an excellent show if they replaced ken Stott and Caroline Katz,

Ken is an amazing actor ,yet he's so out of place in this series, far too old and out of shape to be running after baddies and playing the tough guy, very scruffy

Katz however is a terrible actress, she plays the same part in every role, being friendly and bland,

she is more suited to soaps , she plays an identical role in "doc Martin"

It is Very comparable to the series "trial and retribution" but much better and less depressing

I would describe this as an X rated version of "the Bill"

The BBC would never produce anything as controversial as this today.
