CGiii Comment
Season 2, Episode 2...why this ever got a second series is mystifying.
A girl studying Gender Studies is murdered...she's a lesbian.
One of the detectives (Stephens) investigating the case is a chauvinistic, homophobic, egotistical buffoon.
The result is an offensive display of the stereotypical writing of stereotypes.
The balance between comedy and drama is catastrophic...Stephens cannot do comedy.
Shockingly bad. Should be scrapped immediately...and, after 9 episodes...it was!
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Two detectives; one is cynical and over sexed, the other an asset to the profession. Their unbalanced partnership gets them through a series of strange cases almost smoothly. While managing work life, they have to manage each other and their personal lives.
