Like most Police services in the West today the UK Police has had more than its share of controversy. The result is a not unreasonable loss of faith and support, on the part of the public.
Cuffs comes across as a clumsy attempt to restore the public's jaded opinion of its policing services. So far, this series looks a lot like a cheesy exercise in preachy political correctness, mixed with a blatantly insincere pitch at transparency. The stories are hackneyed too, with the predictable line up of stereotypical villains politicians like to lambaste, mostly to help conceal their own incompetence, greed and criminality.
The standard of acting like most UK series is good but really, this fails to make up for this series conspicuous flaws. Three out of ten from me.
