Watched this for the first time yesterday. Did anyone understand a word of it!? confused

I watched the last series and enjoyed it- I have recorded it because I was watching Midsomer Murders. I find that I have to switch on sub titles for many programmes now.

The last series was quite 'hard hitting' and had a very specific story line that might require knowledge of perhaps?.

Taped it and looking forward to series 2_ I hope it will live up to the last series.

I watched the first 20 mins but I found it very muddled so many woman detectives it was hard to work out who was who's boss, the two women leads the wife/mother and the blonde detective were so OTT I shan't watch anymore.

I enjoyed the last series but I found last night's episode very hard to follow and hear. Hope it gets better hmm

Lots of threads coming in from the first series. I really enjoyed it, but I think you do have to have seen Series 1.

I enjoyed the first series, but was rather confused with the second. I will stick with it though, I put the sub titles on too.

If even those who saw series one are struggling then I think I might forgive myself for being totally confused last night!

I will try and find a resume of series one somewhere.

Last night was the first time I had seen this programme and it will be the last. It was dated, confusing and hard to understand. Sadly did not live up to the hype it received.hmm

I put on the sub titles as suggested. I remembered the end of the last series, which was crucial and managed to keep up with the storyline, so I will continue watching and enjoying it.

Spoiler - it's important to know that the police woman with the blonde hair, was her name Bev, murdered her husband in the last series, I think he was a bad'un.

Hard hitting and good acting, I may watch each episode if I can keep up! Written by Paul 'Shameless' Abbott was what drew me to the series.

You can watch series one on All4

I'm enjoying it to be honest but I prefer a series that takes on a more 'hard hitting' story line and as I previously mentioned I think it makes sense to have viewed the 1st series.

As with Sarah Lancashire in Happy Valley I rate Joanna Scanlon as DI Viv Feeding, I liked her part in ' In The Thick Of It ' also.

I am liking Unforgotten too.

Silent Witness is so wooden acting it is loosing my support a tad.

I'm trying, desperately, to enjoy No Offence. I really like the big, blond, ballsy e-mail cop; but in their attempt to be punchy, and fast moving, they've made it incomprehensible, and too hard to keep up with everything that is said.
Dozens of characters, (who the hell are they?
By the time I've realised where they fit into the plot, and what they're mumbling about, someone else has appeared .
Infuriating, because I have a suspicion that inside, there's a good show, fighting to get out.

Love this programme. Very funny and I love that it's set up north too

Badenkate Mon 20-Feb-17 14:30:35

It's great, hope there's another series. I'd love the forensic guy to have a series as well!

Iam64 Mon 20-Feb-17 20:16:16

I enjoyed it but it was not as good as the previous one. Let's hope Paul Abbot gets his mojo back for the next series. I love the main characters, the forensic guy is excellent, love Spike (in any of the many series in which he appears as a police officer),like the boss, her sergeant and the young Polish policewoman. Well, she's British but her mum is Polish.
Love especially, all the Manc scenes and humour.

Love this programme. It is of course TheSweeney for the 21st century with women as Regan and Carter. It is sometimes shocking, sometimes funny but always entertaining.

Its brilliant, we came upon it in the middle of the second series so obviously hadn't a clue but just let it roll and really enjoyed it. Ordered the first series on DVD so have basically caught up now, Viv, ( Joanna Scanlan)is the boss and in the first series discovered her husband was a major role in an investigation she was carrying out. She intended getting him to leave voluntarily but matters took a differentt turn ! She did'nt actually kill him though.

clementine Sun 26-Feb-17 17:46:35

Sorry, didn't realise you couldnt edit these posts ! Someone else killed him !!
