Featured review
Find someone else to replace Cassie
DCI Jess James is probably the most unlikeable character-who is supposed to be a good guy-on any police procedural I've seen. Her attitude is absolutely vile. She runs roughshod over her entire team. She's selfish, self absorbed, dismissive, and she doesn't care what trauma her team has experienced. It's taken me more than 2 days to get through the first episode, and I'm not sure I will keep watching.
I saw another reviewer say this was lazy writing and stereotypical. I disagree. This is HORRIBLE writing. It's like they decided, "Let's put a bull in a China shop, and have this narcissistic DCI destroy everything this team loves about their jobs".
I thought replacing Jimmy Perez on Shetland was a bad idea, but Ashley Jensen's character doesn't disrespect the team like Sinead Keenan's character does here.
It's painful to watch, and I'm not sure I can stomach continuing to watch this series. Why on earth would the writers decide to make Sunny's life a living hell?!?! Why didn't they just promote HIM to DCI?!?! This is a hugely negative change for such a phenomenal tv show.
I'm hoping it improves, but I don't actually think it will. You might want to just stop watching after season 4.
