I gave it 10 mins and found something else. Dire 👎

Same here want to binge watch after the first episode but resisting.
The Times gave it a good review, so thought we would try, not disappointed.

I watched the first one last night and I’m trying to resist bingeing on the rest. My son’s sister in law is a PSNI officer. Part of her morning routine is to check underneath her car for an explosive device using a mirror on a stick.

Yesterday MI5 increased the terror threat in NI from substantial to severe meaning a terrorist attack is highly likely. It was only reduced from severe to substantial a year ago after 10 years at the same level. President Biden is due to visit to mark the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement so I wonder if that has played a part in the increased terrorist risk.

Hard to understand why anyone would risk being a policeman in NI. The atmosphere felt so threatening. Two more episodes pencilled in for me this pm.

This was a slick and well acted series. Well worth a watch.

No they aren’t Sago MrJ is born and bred Belfast, still has family there, we’re keeping an eye on it.

Was I mistaken that the threat level is now severe with the likelihood of a terrorist attack imminent?

I wasn't sure at first but enjoyed it. Is it really as lawless in NI as this series portrays?

Yes, watched the first and thought it was instantly engaging. definitely a go-er will ration them out though😇

I binged watched three episodes this afternoon. It gets better and better.

No wonder they have recruiting problems in NI.

I loved it too.
An excellent insight.
Sadly things are not good in NI right now

Anyone else watching? I think it’s excellent.
