The news said there were loads of abbreviations too!
The Bill was quite good in the halcyon days

It even had Lily Savage in a couple of episodes, which is more than can be said for Line of Duty.
Bob Cryer would soon sort this lot out. Burnside wouldn’t stand for such nonsense either.

Wasn't she a native of the city?
I do miss Keeley Hawes, as I've just finished watching the first (?) episode again. Guess she must also be in the second, as it ended with her going down for a stretch.

'Birkenhead - the one-eyed city', as my mother used to say.

Despite the flaws the series has a momentum that is compelling and a story. The dialogue serves a purpose but doesn’t seem to be the most important ingredient. You look forward to seeing the gang reunite and get on their game. You care about their lives and personal challenges. Mercurio has hit upon an effective formula.
Well don't watch it then, it's that simple! However, if you could let the rest of us enjoy it that would be great, thanks

I remember Birkenhead (in the 70s/80s); across the river from L'pool. Bit of a non-event as a shopping centre as I remember. Not exactly prepossessing in the suburbs I drove through either. Surely can't be a city; one-eyed or not.

No, it's not a city. My mother had the usual Liverpudlian disdain for its 'over-the-water' neighbour, and 'city' was used sarcastically.
I went to school there, but moved away getting on for 50 years ago. Just before I retired, I was chatting to a bloke who had himself recently moved away, and asked him how the place was getting on. 'Oh, it's gone all posh now. They've even got a farmers' market'.

I didn't realise this was a Line of Duty fan thread, the observations are justified given the hype but each to his own, you can even cosplay it up if you so wish, truncheon in hand, saying "cheers Guv" to the missus and everything ;-)Well don't watch it then, it's that simple! However, if you could let the rest of us enjoy it that would be great, thanks
Chill man, it was meant light heartedly hence the smiley.

I don't watch it, I started watching from the beginning based on the hype but had to give up.
The acting was like watching a kids program, the worst bit that grates is the constant explaining the situation in simple terms when a new piece of evidence is uncovered, like we're all too thick to understand it's relevance.
I guess some of us might be, but we can't all be a genius.... I mean some of us might not know that the it's in your above sentence shouldn't have an apostrophe, then again some of us might

Bloodlands really was poor, Nesbitt has lost the ability to act post hair transplant.
Unforgotten is really good but it would be far less compelling without Nicola Walker who is amazing.
