The idea behind Riptide, whilst hardly original, could have been something that might have been very interesting.
But almost everything about it was "unbelievable" it had so many flaws that we kept watching thinking it could get better.
But it really doesn't.
There were too many occasions when belief was suspended beyond normal levels of expectation.
The bad "guy" is flagged too easily so there was no suspense as the episodes unfolded.
Elementary questions by all involved were never asked including Police procedures.
It was quite insulting for viewers thinking that we'd buy these continual misjudgments and events that really are beyond reasonable belief.
Broadcasters shouldn't take their audience for granted and expect them to like a "drama" like which was of such poor quality.
We're not C5 Watchers so this hasn't endeared us to this Channel.
