    ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
    ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
    Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
    Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
    John (opsbooks) It took me a couple of episodes to get into this series. It was the great characters and corresponding acting performances which won me over. By the time the final episode arrived it had become a "must watch" series, just as "The Bill" had in the 1990s. I was both amazed and shocked to read that the BBC had axed it! One has to ask "why?" and the answer has to be adverse reactions from those above in a time when the Powers that run the BBC are living in fear of being seen to support minority groups within the upper echelons of Society. Although they like to display political correctness on the surface, in reality, they are no different to the great majority of viewers.
    bynggo Very sad to hear the decision to axe Cuffs. Thoroughly enjoy the show and the characters. The story line is just starting to unfold and we the audience warming to the various people in Cuffs. Bad decision, sad for us. A change of heart would be great for fans. The events and the action is interesting and the fact that I have to write 10 lines about the show and my grievances at the loss of the show before it will be published is a bit of nuisance. All I can keep on saying is if the BBC changed their minds about cancelling Cuffs I think there would be some happy people around the world. The show is interesting and the people in the show Cuffs are varied and popular in my circle of viewing friends. It is also very difficult to ramble on to get ten lines up when all I prefer to do is be succinct and say, what a shame cuffs has been cancelled because I enjoyed the show and please change your collective minds, BBC. there I think I have ten lines, please publish this because I am going to look like some sort of nut case if I have to continue with this ramble. Now please rethink the ten line rule.
    gilesb-30738 First 5 minutes I thought "I'm not watching this" and the next 5 minutes caught me. Absolutely. Clever-smart.This is a wonderful cross-over of (perhaps only) British black humor and the serious world of police work and its diversity, violence and opposition to violence, social and mental problems, politics of policing, and the personal. You need societal knowledge and empathy to understand all the links.The USA police, maybe the whole nation, should watch this series because the underlying message is so positive. and so negative to US policing methods today.Please. Laugh and cry, enjoy.This is extreme, but I think the best since Monty Python.As an aside, of course, I think we have a peak of British TV scripting, directing, cinematography, acting going on, and this comes out near the top.
    rodders81 I was looking forward to this series; yet only the BBC would focus more time and energy on diversity than a good drama.I am still not sure if this is a comedy or a drama? The characters are fluffy stereotypes with no depth as if plucked from the TRUEMAN show. There is an old adage that says "it's the imperfections that makes something perfect". Here so much effort had been made in preening the actors, hair and make up perfect that you just can't imagine them completing a 14 hour shift or relating to actual people on the streets.To many rushed plots forced into a short space of time. (Less can be more, devil is in the detail) Conversation between characters are one liners, wooden and forced. The new probationer is too cocky, weak and annoying. If only there was more edgy banter, something that relates to real life and not from a teenage novel. However the settings in Brighton are awesome and great to see.
