    Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
    SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
    Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
    AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
    alvram-64335 I love my Brit series. This one not so much. I did not find it funny or thrilling. In fact, the only thing I felt was pure annoyance as my brain cells died for the stupid situations involved. It's childish, and not entertaining one bit which pains me to say since the Brit Comedy series tend to shine.
    bjarias ..you know really tried hard to stick with it, but episode after episode try as you might the dialogue it is just so difficult to follow, it just becomes too frustrating.. so many programs don't have half the acting talent and script writing prowess of this great show, and all that makes it just that much more frustrating.. would have to believe that all involved know, and they just believe, well, it's just part of the natural reality of the programming.. maybe at some point someday someone will decide to add subtitles.. it might seem strange for what is supposed to be an English language production, but there would be a large bunch of potential avid fans that would be sooo appreciative if that were to happen.
    s3276169 After the emotionally constipated Cuffs, No Offence, is a "let your hair down and let is all hang out" kind of police drama. There's a dash of Chauncer in this series. The public is crude and oafish, a mischievous bunch, in need of more circumspect forces to keep the chaos at bay. Crudity and what might be called, "earthy" humour, can be found in abundance in this series. This crude edge is softened somewhat by touchy feely, cops with a heart of gold, malarkey. I personally, found it hard to get past the atmosphere of condescension that permeates No Offence. Of the "little people", comprised of a public who are either unaware sheep who need to be protected by the boys and girls in blue or shifty, orcish types, who need to be brought to heel.Viewed as "simple" entertainment No Offence is watchable. That said, its touting the same tired, bland, unconvincing "big government nanny state" message found in just about any mainstream police show you care to name. A message that is starkly at odds with the troubling, Orwellian reality, of contemporary government and policing in the West. Five out of ten from me.
    sol roth I'm usually a great fan of Paul Abbott's but this was ruined by terrible diction and gabbling by the actors. It may well have been the director's and author's intention at what one might call audio verité for a Manchester based drama, but Shameless was never as bad as this.Plot spoilers.All TV dramas expect some suspension of disbelief by the viewer but this is just too much.The culprit has a door key embedded in his eye by the Cathy yet we see him a little while later without a mark on his face.Cathy is imprisoned in the boot of the culprit's car yet she and Dinah escape in it and Dinah deliberately fakes a crash in it as if it were her own
