It is probably fair to say that the cops depicted here are probably a nicer lot than exist in a real police station. But also that we've had so many shows about flawed / conflicted law enforcement types that this comes over as a welcome change. It's also very pro police in that they are human beings who have a laugh and are hard working, reasonable people at times under severe pressure.
An exciting beginning (one of the Angela Bassett episodes) puts us in the thick on an anti-migrant protest and introduces a social media activist who causes a lot of problems for Grace (Sian Brooke). Aisling (Dearbhaile McKinney) can't face being in a relationship with Tommy (Nathan Braniff). Shane (Frank Blake) is keen to make an impression with Michael Smiley's unit as he has spotted a gangster suspiciously driving a coach laden with soldier-types. Andi Osho is in court but the case against the killer of her husband is quashed by MI5 pressure thanks to gangster Abigail McGibbon, whose son Michael Shea is a nasty mess. The station is under threat of being closed.
