For a British show I was very much disappointed. Most Brits show much regard for superiors and co-workers and the criminals. This one seemed to rely on trying to swear at each other and everyone around more than the next actor. There may be a very good story here if you can get past all the profanity. The story line gets lost in the sheer amount of vulgarity. I tried watching but simply got turned off by it. I wouldn't work with or for someone who talked to me in this manner. Call me a prude if you must but I expected more from a British show.
... View MoreI absolutely love this show.The only thing I don't like, is the fact that Channel 5 mess around with the episodes and when they are shown. They commissioned 10 episodes for season 1, so they should have shown them in the order they were made. The 7 other episodes should have made up season 2.I did however like the change to 2-part stories. Would be better if they did them here and there in the series.Roll on more episodes!Any idea when season 4 is being shown?I can't wait much longer!
... View MoreSuspects is a different interpretation of a police drama where it is all improvisation and no defined script. Well acted by all the cast with excellent cinematography.Fay Ripley is excellent as DI Bellamy as is Damien Malony as DS Weston and Clare-Hope Ashitey as DC Steele. All the filming is done on location in London. Although some of the stories are similar such as paedophilia gang stories but they are all well acted and no two scenes in similar episodes the same and none of the dialogue is similar.Even though some of the stories are similar I highly recommend watching this series.
... View MoreThe show being shot in and out of focus is intentional, designed to give it that gritty documentary feeling.In fact I was about halfway through the first episode before I realized it was fiction. When the police started interviewing a minor child on camera I knew this was a drama and was pleasantly surprised! It is a fresh and different take of the ubiquitous Police Drama, I found the characters engaging and the tempo swift and enjoyable.It is very difficult to bring a new look to Police Dramas with the endless variants of Law and Order, endless shoot'em ups, patience exhausting fist fights, car chases and drool self righteous, crusading dialogue...I found this a refreshing and realistic police drama. Not for everyone, but worth a look!
