Industrial grade self-indulgence. The sheer egotism required to make this clap-trap is off the scale. Why do people like J-Lo not have friends, associates or business partners who say to her, look mate, don't do this, it will wreck your brand/ make you look stupid/ make you look like a self-indulgent diva? There is really nothing here that is film worthy, only maybe to a tiny group of long term fans. Everyone else will watch this through their fingers and iluless the viewer has a strong stomach, are battlefield brave or are somewhat infirm, will simply not make it to the end.

I'd say this was one to avoid if I'm honest.

Oh my god, where to start? The script is sooo bad. The characters are drawn with all the subtlety of an etch-a-sketch. Every action by every character is purely to ram home how good/bad/dopey/dishonest/lovely they are. Poor plot, just utter, utter rubbish. And Jason Watkins, what are you thinking? You're a good actor, why are you in this dreck?

Ten minutes into the first episode of this crime drama and I had to consult IMDB to find out who the painful poseur of a lead actor was. I noticed there were already about a dozen 10/10 scores registered for this production, so I suspect the production staff and friends of the cast were out in force.

Don't be fooled by the current IMDb 8.7 score, this production is awful. With the exception of Sara Greene (Cassie Maddox) who seemed quite natural and engaging, generally the acting was full of caricatures. Killian Scott (Rob Reilly) looks like he is permanently posing for the cover of GQ magazine, attempting to look brooding and dangerously alluring. Similarly the unit boss is a thinly drawn attempt to portray a 1970's style misogynist, but just looks ridiculous.

So far it's rubbish and I will not be watching the rest. If you persevere with it, I hope it improves because these are hours that you could use to watch something well written and better acted.

Sorry to say, but avoid.
