Likewise for me too, and even with the "bump", Sophie is pretty gorgeous..

I'm 4 episodes in now and I am enjoying it. It's getting better with each episode. It's a bit "Happy Valley Lite" smile

Finished it now, it's worth watching but a bit predictable.

I liked the part where the police officer asks her colleague for a description of the man who was washed away in the flood. Presumably, they only planned to rescue the man fitting that description?

Quite entertaining viewing with some nice little twists and turns.

I do like a French (ish) bird losing it in French. As the Merovingian said in the Matrix. It's like wiping your arse with silk. hehe

Seems alright so far. EP 1.

Pregnant Officers don't go out on patrol.
Police Officers don't do 'direct entry' Detective.

I couldn’t get past the first few minutes.

Cop car pulls away, instantly crashes, coppers in the back jump out and are off and running within half a second. No mention at all of what they hit five yards from where they pulled away. Nothing shown to the viewer. Just accept this bizarre piece of TV and move on.

Same coppers now come across a trapped woman in a car, stuck in high flowing water, and with a baby in the back. She ‘could’ pick the kid up and walk two feet to the perfectly dry path beside her, but no, she yells for the police.

Police decide to risk the foot high tsunami instead of using the perfectly dry path two feet beside the car & manage to wade through the water and get really close to the woman. At this point, said woman then decides that now rescue is almost with her, THIS would be the best time to do what she had avoided up until that point and remove her kid from the car.

My prediction came true at that point and given it had been on for only a few minutes, I was already confused and picking holes and had predicted what was about to happen, I decided it wasn’t for me.

Maybe I’m just getting old.

That's a carbon copy of my view and actions.
It's like you read my mind lol.
More and more I'm finding I switch off after a few minutes watching a new drama series, whether it's ridiculous storylines,or terrible acting, I just don't have the patience any more

Welcome to the world of being a pilot! I can't watch anything to do with aircraft. It's all too stupid.
