Cuffs (2015)
Absolute Bilge
A tedious attempt at re-launching a parochial branch of The Bill, without the well-written script, long-established characters and solid story-line.
The characters are unrealistic, and unlike-able as is the script, with politically correct nonsense taking the place of believable comments from minute one.
Generally, the acting is abysmal, even though there are several tried and tested professionals involved, but otherwise the cast do not really deserve to hold their equity cards.
The script leaves a great deal to be desired too, maybe the writers felt shackled by extreme PC or perhaps they are simply the new breed of BBC writer, who lack the ability to impart the charm, empathy and intelligence into their scripts that we have come to expect from the BBC.
All in all, this is a very poor effort, not worth watching and needs to be killed off before it gets going. If it never showed another episode, I doubt that 'Points-of-view' would not have a single complaint, as no- one would notice it's deserved demise.
Come on BBC - we expect far more from you than this bilge-water!
