Annika on BBC 1-another police drama

This was a radio series first (Nicola Walker was also Annika in that) which I listened to. Enjoyed the first episode.

I fell asleep so I doubt if I will bother this weekend.

Well i gave it another go and ive changed my mind a bit. Def not the best programme but will continue to watch it.

Annika’s house is situated on the banks of Loch Lomond.

Disappointing first episode and some poor acting from the entire cast. However for those interested in where the episode was filmed:
The Marine Homicide Headquarters with the full glass windows is the Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock.
The yacht marina is the Largs Yacht Haven and several scenes were filmed in the Victoria Halls in Helensburgh.

PS it’s Jake the therapist who makes for pleasant watching for me, but Michael is also worth watching in a craggy way.

I have just watched the whole series back to back over two sessions and loved it!
Loved the scenery, some gorgeous houses, the quirky central character and a cunning twist at the end of episode 6 - but no spoilers.
Slightly bored by the fact that everybody seems to be a lesbian these days but maybe they are and I have just led a sheltered life.

I m now on episode 2 and struggling why is it so dark all the time I mean the lighting not the story It’s really not gripping me and I always love Nicola Walker and her dramas 😥

Malpractice was a little weird and frustrating but I do think it was worth getting to the end.

Love Nicola Walker. And loved the radio series with her in this role. But am a little disappointed with the TV production. Why have they moved her to Glasgow? The character is Norwegian and part of a police special boat service.

Agree with Sparklefizz. We gave up after the first episodes . Why do all these police people have difficult children?. Same old.

Watching the second episode I fell asleep not sure if I’ll bother rewatching it to be honest.

I m with you completely Clawdy I love Nicola Walker in nearly everything I don’t find her face or delivery any different !!!
Finding this a bit heavy going perhaps it’s the Scottish accents I m watching it on the iPad and don’t think it has subs (must look harder) I often take a couple of episodes to get names and people in place will have to do better this time
(I enjoyed malpractice by the way)

Am watching this on iplayer. Was underwhelmed by first episode but at a loose end whilst waiting for the gas engineer I gave it another go and surprisingly find its growing on me. NW does have some irritating mannerisms but on the whole it is a soothing gentle watch. And ‘Michael’ has me drooling.

Meant to say I am watching Maryland not Magpies.

So fed up with cops and robbers. Watching Magpies only because it is a change.

If you want gritty .gripping police drama watch CRIME Written by Irvine Walsh and starring Dougray Scott its a hard watch but excellent

I love Nicola Walker, so will carry on watching, but it wasn't really gripping.

Saw the title and (wrongly) assumed it was going to be that blonde woman in a jumpsuit running around and jumping in and out of helicopters

Hasn’t it been on before? I watched the series sometime ago. Is this one a new series.

I think it was on Alibi before?

I have given up with it after one episode.
I don't like the talking to camera, plus in my view Nicola Walker plays every part the same, and uses the same stuttering delivery.

I gave up halfway through episode two. A waste of Nicola Walker’s talents and I hate all the talking to the camera.

I find a lot of TV drama unbelievable these days, though, it's as if they're trying to find something a bit different from same old police dramas, family dramas and a lot aren't hitting the mark or are hitting the mark with a sledgehammer instead of an arrow.

I must stop pointing out all the faults, it annoys DH!

I enjoyed it a bit quirky and different.
