Frighteningly realistic (spoilers included)

The Vice is all about the London Vice Squad and how they tackle prostitution and its associated problems.

Series 1 develops the characters in the Squad, their interactions with each other, and their targets. One character becomes embroiled in a world of sexual obsession and ends up being blackmailed by the very people he is supposed to be working against. He is eventually caught and ruined.

The squalid nature of prostitution in London and the drug use associated is depicted in a frighteningly realistic manner. The scripts are very hard edged and do not attempt to glamourise the topic. Not for lovers of 'Pretty Woman.'
