All the previous comments have been fair, and yeah maybe they do show the Tyne-bridge AND and eye-bridge a lot in the show. But in all fairness what else are they going to show? The Tyne-Bridge is the perfect symbol of Newcastle, and if you actually knew the city, you'd realize you can actually see it from nearly everywhere you go anyway.
But its very rare that programmes or films are ever set in Newcastle-upon-tyne and I'm thrilled that they've decided to make a show here. Television seems to have a dislike of using Geordies or Newcastle. (Yes i realize they made Byker-Grove here, but honestly, can we forget that show ever existed. It was the worst piece of dribble ever and made us all look like morons)
Anyhow, its slightly annoying that the main character is a Southerner, and the other main character as the lawyer is Irish! you'd think the bbc had no faith in using Geordies and i sware more then one of those accents are fake.
But full marks to the bbc for trying. Its a half decent show.
Although, one last nag! There's no police station on the quayside in Newcastle, or anywhere near the eye-bridge, so where has this mysterious police station come from?
