Based on this thread, I caught up to part one yesterday, hadn't seen it trailed on TV.

It was kind of leaden, more tropes and clichés than character development, but inoffensive, and I'll try part two.

The kidnapping: Who did it? Why? And how did Hunky Trainee Detective get free?
I may have lost concentration a tad.

(Granite Harbour, not City.)

Oh, it's terrible.

But I'm distracted by the accents. They're even worse than the script, and that's saying something.

It's like a series being set in Newcastle, but all the actors having West Country accents. 😉

I also enjoyed it- not a lot else to watch.

Just watched the first episode and rather enjoyed it. Easy watching with a bit of humour. Do want to see the Guv pulled down a peg.

I thought I’d give it another chance tonight but shouldn’t have bothered.

That’s Doric though.

We liked it, Aberdeen looked lovely, no Dork though.

Find it awful when the boss lady suddenly bursts into broad Scots in the most unrealistic and unlikely places. Verbal diahhorea.

Dull, slow, clichéd script and ham acting.
Give me Cracker or Rebus or Shetland over this any day!

Not enjoying it tbh. Very pedestrian and with a lot of stock characters, the maverick, the nasty cop who is jealous blah blah.

Anyone watching? Quite enjoying it.
