Did anyone notice the weird lighting on the Stefan's face when he woke up on the sofa?
(In episode 2.)

Wasn't expecting too much, but was actually a surprisingly decent watch. Maybe trying a bit too hard to be down with kids in its production style but no matter.

Not going to win any awards but I don't usually expect too much in the way of new dramas over the normal summers and will slot in nicely among my Euros/Wimbledon/TdF viewing

In case anyone was wondering in episode 1 when Stefan was told the landlord wanted to raise the rent Jan said "On jest dupkiem" which means "he's an arsehole". It made me laugh.

As others have remarked, quite similar to The Wrong Mans. I've watched the first three on iPlayer but having wrapped up the pharma / murder conundrum was surprised to find there is a new case, or more...

Interestingly this show reminds of Bugs in the 90s.

Hmm..

A scene near the end of episode three had awful CGI firearm effects and a bit later it was just like Butch and Sundance.

Still, it was watchable.

There a 7 Eps and Ep1 was billed as part 1 of case 1.

there are obviously more than case in the series.

And I'm not watching it on iPlayer,. I'm waiting for Ep2 to be broadcast so no open spoilers please

Quite enjoyed episode 1. Nothing startling but pretty well done though I found the antipathy towards Rash from the other cops tiresome.

Personally, I thought Bugs was awful, which, considering it stared the gorgeous Jaye Griffiths took some doing.

This seems a lot better. True it's not staggeringly realistic, and the plot seems a bit of a mash-up, but it does not require too much suspension of disbelief.

Mark Bonnar also played a very different character in Shetland, where he was the ne'er-do-well real father of Perez's step-daughter, and in Line of Duty, where he was a corrupt senior police officer. He gets about!
For some reason I always thought they were the other way round in Shetland. He always seems to play dodgy characters.

I watched all 3 last night and really enjoyed them, I would have happily watched more if they had been on iplayer.

I really enjoyed this show and will continue to watch next set.
Did get a bit farcical at the end but the two leads are so good and so cute I won't let that put me off.

Halfway through episode 2. Stefan's reaction to David putting his hand on his leg seemed to be more than just uncomfortable - do we find anything out about that?

I didn't have high hopes as you expect a new cop show debuting during a major football tournament means the broadcaster fears it's a turkey, but I loved episodes 1 and 2. Episode 3 got a bit silly, and I agree the gurning is getting out of hand, but I'll stick with it .

I have just finished watching all three episodes on iplayer and I loved it......... The two young main characters (sorry don't know what their names are)......I thought had a real on screen presence and I LOVED them Cant wait for the rest to be shown!, Anyone know if we are going to get them by bulk on iplayer again instead of having to wait weekly for them?......

In combination with what he was saying, it was clear that he was trying to seduce Stefan with promises of advancement if he were prepared to be 'friendly'.

Stephan was not up for that.

I don't think there's anything further to add - although it does show that Leese is prepared to act unethically to get what he wants.

Thanks I've seen all 3 eps now.
