CGiii Comment

Well...the BBC kept this kind of quiet.

A series centred around a young, gay police constable in Brighton...kept company by a lesbian constable, a S&M detective, a womanizing Chief....there's quite a few of them.

It needs some work...if it is going to continue.

There is a deluge of too many storylines, too many central characters...it needs a script editor who recognises where to cut, where to expand...just use each episode to focus on one or two of the central character...rather than giving them all equal air-time.

As for the opening credits (and song) - change it immediately.

Early days...but, it's in the early days where and when you build an audience.

...and, things definitely started to improve...some interesting perspectives, a few devilish twists...

Unfortunately, it all came too late...Cuffs got cancelled after 8 episodes.

Shame...it had great potential. Never under-estimate the power of the first episode!

The(ir) Blurb...

Cuffs is a fresh, authentic and visceral drama that will take the audience on an exhilarating ride through the challenges of front-line policing. Adrenalized and vibrant, the show is packed full of dramatic incidents and colourful characters. From a booby trapped cannabis farm in a suburban semi to an elderly farmer's wife with a shotgun, the stories are surprising and exciting. There will be more absurd altercations - such as a middle-class dog-napping or fisticuffs between pensioners - as well as the daily grind of speeding drivers, city-centre shoplifters and Saturday night drinkers.
