The acting is quite bad. The filming, the angles the grading - it all reminds me of and old soap from the 90s. And it's the worst attempt at a female centric show that I've ever seen. Not sure where they found the script writers..

A middling Canadian remake of UK's Scott & Bailey minus the charismatic actors and strong writing. The original's creator - the brilliant Sally Wainwright - has a purely contractual executive producer credit and a few of her scripts are given downgraded re-writes, but it's the terrible casting that really hurts this new production. Wendy Crewson - in an undeveloped supporting role as police captain - is fine, as is David Cubitt, but the two leads are absolutely forgettable, even if they are under-served by the show's writing staff. (Yes, the mostly female writing staff is just as hacky as any mostly/all-male writing staff.)

Looking forward to seeing how this progresses and changes from the original. So far I think it's an entertaining adaptation. Brit crime with a canadian twist. Loved it.

I loved Scott and Bailey and hope to love this remake. But I was surprised not to see any references to the original until I saw a review here. I wish you well but please credit the original.
