Thou Shalt Not Kill (2015– )

Interesting story lines but unrealistic police procedures

[6/10 · 30 September 2021]

I have enjoyed the series although there are serious flaws in how investigations are conducted. The lead detective never puts 'booties' on when entering a crime scene, occasionally wears gloves, runs cases like the Lone Ranger with a smattering of 'help' from her colleagues. We won't even talk about the inappropriate relationship with her boss and their public displays of affection - just unbelievable! And let's not forget, it is a terrible portrayal of Italian men who all seem to be cheating scum bags with over protective mothers (even of adult businessmen) and an indication that the police/judiciary want crimes wrapped up quickly, especially when people of power are involved. Saying all this, there is something compelling about the stories and the acting is acceptable.
