Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBestselling author Stephen King, a huge fan of the series, was especially fond of the Irish catchphrases used by superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar) such as, "Now we're sucking diesel!" (when you've fallen into good fortune thanks to your own hard work) and "Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey!"

Featured review
Excellent Series!
This is a review of both Season 1 & 2 of this wonderful British series. Although there is a different story line in each of the seasons, there is some continuity in the important characters: the actors Martin Compston, Adrian Dunbar and Vicki McClure, among others, appear in both seasons as the same characters. The story in each season deals with a conflict within a police department between the regular forces and the internal affairs or "anti-corruption" unit. Thematically, it is concerned with the moral ambiguities that arise when policemen investigate their own. I think this is one of the best British police procedurals that I have seen. The acting and the writing are uniformly excellent, and I hope it comes back for a third season.
