Ridley.

I'm quite enjoying it. Decent writing, good actors, and it's not a repeat.

Just caught up with last night's episode - weak implausible storyline, full of police procedure holes even for an authorised cop, let alone someone who's just "a consultant". Perhaps I'm expecting too much. I don't rate the female detective either, not sure why, but nothing seems to gel.

And the singing .... well.

Overall disappointing in my view.

I think this series is a bit too obviously contrived. Even the jazz singing is a bit 'stick on to add character'. Doubt I'll watch it again. 4/10. Could do better.

Well, I like it!

I like it. I like the singing too. Richard Hawley songs .. love Richard Hawley.

Hi Sparklefizz. As a teacher, I've never watched a school drama that wasn't riddled with implausibities (is that a word?)

I'm always pointing out implausibilities to the annoyance of H but it's entertainment.
Midsomer Murders or Father Brown genre, not to be taken seriously (but not as good as either).

H not DH (although he was H this morning!)

Oh, give in .....

Oh, I thought it was going to be a duet tonight!

Poor old Ridley, he seems doomed to unhappiness.

Another solo.
I didn't like her anyway.

I can't watch anymore.

I didn’t like her either Callistemon, and didn’t trust her,

Not surprised at the outcome.

His partner in the club obviously didn’t want them to get it together.

The whole scenario seemed a bit silly really.

Last night showing was awful. Every cliche in the book. I really wanted to like this but it was daytime TV stuff.

Going off it

Ridley was watchable last night although rather slow moving. Capture we didn’t bother with it had become very slow moving and not credible, very much in the vein of Vigil, which also became tedious.

I didn't mind the first two episodes, a bit of light entertainment. Last night's episode however was weak and full of very obvious procedural errors. I find it hard to accept Adrian Dunbar in this role perhaps because of Line of Duty.
It's odd though because I enjoy Father Brown & Grantchester which are both as implausible.

Perhaps it’s because we expect better of him Sodapop
I found myself nodding last night

DH nodded off, woke up at the end and said "What happened?"
I couldn't go through it all again to explain

I'm rather enjoying it.Not the most riveting police drama but good solid acting and an easy Sunday watch.Plus could listen to ADs voice anytime.As a northerner Bronagh Waughs accent is also pretty good for someone with a strong Ukstee accent herself.

Meant Ulster accent obviously!
