Midlands Yellow 3,248 Posted July 24, 2022 Plenty of votes coming for Eddie Shoestring and The Chinese Detective I reckon but what’s your personal choice? I’m a Cagney and Lacey fan myself but could never take to The Bill due to the poor acting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 4,281 Posted July 25, 2022 I’ve not really watched many since NYPD Blue which I loved, but now I think about it, there were seasons one and two of True Detective which were great, and I was surprised quite how good The Responder was (and Martin Freeman, I’m not generally a fan).

keelansgrandad 6,317 Posted July 25, 2022 Line of Duty eclipses the lot. The Sweeney was different and a change. As were Z Cars and softly Softly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thumbbass 288 Posted July 25, 2022 I'll flip it and give you my most disappointing - Mark Billingham's Thorne series of books are really good but the TV adaption was terrible. Billingham himself picked David Morrissey to play the lead, I have to say he is one actor I take an instant and irrational dislike to, which probably didn't help! Best is Frost though. David Jason is a god among men, if only he could play defensive midfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not somewhere you can get to on the bus! Not that you’d want to get the bus, especially not the last one at night -although I don’t think they run the late bus any more, and the last train is before midnight-if you want to stay out late it’s a taxi ride home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
