It seems that nothing can be commissioned for ITV or BBC that doesn't have a fully completed check-list of PC nonsense.
This show is fully compliant. All the women end up as strong independent characters, even the Mum who starts out being dominated by her off-screen oafish partner. And the end the sisterhood is bizarrely intact - victims and killer all onside with each other. All the men are rotters, villains or morons.
So far, so 2022. But why do all the inhabitants of Nottinghamshire now speak in cockney (or at least Estuary) accents? Why is Mum doing the night-shift in a cab, while one is living in middle-class luxury. Why has St Paul's Cathedral relocated to be visible through the window of a Nottingham dealing room? Why is there only one white person at (white) Granny's birthday party?
It's total rubbish really. The over-rated Vicky McClure Vicky McClures her way through things and the rest of the cast struggle to act at all. Is it the horrible mechanical lines they are given or are they all incompetent? I suspect the former, although the accents are unforgivable.
