An excellent gritty crime series that's a world away from the cosy or fantasy television that had gone before. Thaw and Waterman are very natural and believable. The language is genuine and reflects the times perfectly. If you're easily offended, try Watch with Mother instead.
One thing - the opening credits. Series 1-3 have the iconic, artful sequence. Then someone thought they could improve it for season 4 with a Kaleidoscope effect and the actors freezing into action positions - not a freeze frame, just the actors standing still. Whoever signed this off should have never been allowed to work outside of children's TV again!
