Perfectly adorable
... View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
... View Moreif their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreI love this series, wish they could have made more seasons. As far as the swearing goes, not that much different from the programs on HBO Starz and other cable channels. Y always have a choice not to watch it. I think it's a great show and it not scripted.
... View MoreFor a British show I was very much disappointed. Most Brits show much regard for superiors and co-workers and the criminals. This one seemed to rely on trying to swear at each other and everyone around more than the next actor. There may be a very good story here if you can get past all the profanity. The story line gets lost in the sheer amount of vulgarity. I tried watching but simply got turned off by it. I wouldn't work with or for someone who talked to me in this manner. Call me a prude if you must but I expected more from a British show.
... View MoreI've found the majority of British crime dramas/procedurals to be at least watchable and at least less insulting to our intelligence than their American counterparts. But Suspects, with its "Get this evidence fast-tracked to tech, please" and "Let me get these two photos sent off to facial recognition" and high-def, color CCTV footage and immediate lab results ("We have your DNA all over the base of this broken bottle!") seems like a way, way dumbed-down version of its predecessors. I can't believe that it's much better than Bones or NCIS or other American prime-time fare. I hope nothing about this show signals a shift in how Brits do the bulk of their crime TV-- i.e., without gimmicks and for a thinking audience (Prime Suspect, Trial and Retribution, Poirot). The cinema verité look they're going for in Suspects backfires. It feels contrived and dated. And the unscripted/improvised dialogue gives the impression that the actors are trying--really, really trying--to look and sound unscripted. Avoid.
... View MoreThe show being shot in and out of focus is intentional, designed to give it that gritty documentary feeling.In fact I was about halfway through the first episode before I realized it was fiction. When the police started interviewing a minor child on camera I knew this was a drama and was pleasantly surprised! It is a fresh and different take of the ubiquitous Police Drama, I found the characters engaging and the tempo swift and enjoyable.It is very difficult to bring a new look to Police Dramas with the endless variants of Law and Order, endless shoot'em ups, patience exhausting fist fights, car chases and drool self righteous, crusading dialogue...I found this a refreshing and realistic police drama. Not for everyone, but worth a look!
