Characters are very believable, youth, arrogance, know it all, teen bullying, modern schools. Single parent tough job troublesome kids, dominant mother. Police techniques appear very accurate along with the. Depth of investigation give results. Surprised not more use Scenes of crime evidence and DNA. Most criminals convict themselves these days. Some very good illustrations of the use of young kids as couriers in drug distribution. Petty steeling for pin money. Bottle of Vodka and temptation sums it all up today. Morecambe Bay with its northern accents can be hard to understand at times but very real and true to life. Watching the first series again as it was very well structured. None of the American detection of this piece of evidence can only be from this place therefore guilty. A great plot along with a great temptation. Did the 10 minute quicky and destroying evidence hamper the investigation? Not really but demotion a bit tough especially being put with the DS you trained to keep an eye on you creates an interesting dynamic. Looking forward to the 3rd series.
