cindytiemann Great British series :). I really liked the interactions with the actors

chelsealambe I felt compelled to write a review on this show. It's brilliant, entertaining, acting superb as well as the writing. There are many shows I like (game of thrones, blacklist, happy valley, etc.) but I have to say this one is so real it draws you in and you just want to watch and watch. My first review. What a great show. Unbelievable job to all those involved (actors, writers, directors, casting etc.).I guess I have to have 10 lines to submit this.I just hope this show isn't cancelled or already cancelled as I only recently started watching it. Real people, real problems, no glamour just amazing stories that the general public can relate to. Day to day shnit!!

bjarias Cop dramas have a great tendency to follow a formula script, and as a result after several seasons usually become tedious and boring, and audiences continue watching them mostly out of habit. Scott & Bailey is the huge exception to the rule, and I'm positive that those knowing just how good a program this is they're watching, want it to continue on indefinitely. There's actor after actor in this marvelous series that consistently do outstanding work.. and for it all to end, well, would just be criminal. It's one of the ironies that when it looks so easy, an enormous amount of talent and effort on all sides make it appear that way. All involved are producing top flight work, and deserve all the accolades they get. I watched Doctor Foster and that turned me on to one of the leads in this series... soooo glad I did. The final season was short.. and once again extremely good. Know they wished to go out 'on-a-high'.. but this is another series that will be sorely missed.

robertabaldwinteam Wow! Discovered this Brit series by chance and got hooked immediately. Characters are written with depth and honesty, their private lives brimming with challenges and uncertainty, while the major cases they explore are are also pretty fascinating. Of course, the acting is terrific. Scott (Lesley Sharp) and Bailey (Suranne Jones) are an unlikely but compelling duo, one a dutiful wife and mother; the other single and screwed up. Their back stories are no less than riveting. Casting across the board is seductively brilliant, including, in recurring roles, Amelia Bullmore as SCI Murray, the detective in charge; Nicholas Gleaves, as another detective in the squad; and Rupert Graves as a sexy barrister who nearly destroys Bailey's career. By the time you get to episode 5 or 6 in the first season, you start worrying that there are only 3 more seasons to go in this wonderfully satisfying drama.
