I watch lots of UK murder/cop/procedural shows, but this one wins the prize for having the most miserable, dysfunctional characters and families. Not just the citizens, but the cops' families, too. And every week it just gets worse. The contentious marriages, infidelity, bullying at school, dad dies alone in nursing home during lockdown, Down Syndrome child doesn't realize her mum is dead and not coming back, lead cop and her teacher husband struggle with their blended family, gay boy picked on at school, on and on. It gives meaning to the saying, "If it weren't for bad luck, these people wouldn't have any luck at all." Still, for some inexplicable reason, I keep watching it. I must love pain.
The setting is pretty. So there's that.
BTW, I'm in the US and have had no problem with the accents. Of course, I always have captions on, even American shows.
