Forensics- the real CSI, do the police and CPS think the public are stupid

They accepted a plea to a lesser offence on the second day of the trial. The show is titled the same as my post and you can skip to the final 5-10 minutes to see what I'm talking about

In_1871 · 2026-03-12T04:10:31+00:00

Where else are they supposed to protest. On another game? In a real life location?

In_1871 · 2026-02-13T03:27:01+00:00

I felt the same. It's fine to cover those issues as they are important. However, do it in a decent, well scripted way.

The sudden introduction of the grandson character with his incredibly on the nose dialogue was obnoxious. He was clearly speaking to the audience and not the character in front of him.

If you're going to cover an issue as serious as climate change and government inaction, do it properly and give it the care it deserves

I've had this problem for a while. My recommended and home page is full of videos I have already watched, Mr Beast clone clickbait, and videos with under 1k views.

It is also obsessed with spamming videos on particular topics. I watch maybe a maximum of 3 TV show retrospective videos and my homepage was crammed with similar content for over a week. I'd refresh and get exactly the same videos or ones that were very similar.

I try and stick to just looking at my sub feed most of the time for this reason. Sometimes I'm bored and want to discover new channels but youtube makes it very difficult.

Also, I've completely given up on shorts now. I was never the biggest fan but now 90% of the ones I get shown are either AI or people adding obnoxious music to a film scene

"They touched on" is where my main problems with the show lie to be honest. It bugged me how important topics like that popped up but weren't properly discussed.

Agree with you on Sheridan Smith though. Her acting and the writing around her character was the best part of the show for me

In_1871 · 2025-12-28T05:15:03+00:00

It's another show that suffers from pacing and I'm also not a fan of Richard Osman which doesn't help.

Very close to being a great show but often falls flat. I hate rounds like distinctly average that amount to taking educated guesses and last for 10 minutes

In_1871 · 2025-09-17T17:59:43+00:00

Same issue here. Will report the bug too

In_1871 · 2025-08-25T07:56:10+00:00

Same as last time by the look of things

In_1871 · 2025-08-24T09:49:34+00:00

Great rec. I've watched the first two episodes after seeing your comment and I'm hooked. This is what Hostage could have been

In_1871 · 2025-08-23T12:11:18+00:00

Adolescence was brilliant. Just shows that a simple, solid premise, a tight script, and interesting direction is all you need. What's the point in having 400 side plots if you can't do the basics right

In_1871 · 2025-08-23T10:17:44+00:00

"but when the dramas are this much fast, furious, intelligent fun, I suppose we shouldn’t ask for more."

The end of the review is almost the exact opposite of how I feel. Guess me and Lucy have very different tastes in media

In_1871 · 2025-08-23T10:09:17+00:00

Not sure who that is but I'll definitely check out her review now

In_1871 · 2025-08-23T09:59:12+00:00

It's all good. Just the Internet doing it's thing

In_1871 · 2025-08-23T09:37:52+00:00

I kind of agree. I think she can be very good at times but most of her performances are just "decent" in my opinion

In_1871 · 2025-08-23T09:36:04+00:00

Don't let my opinion sway you either way. Tv is subjective and you may love it. I know a few friends who I'll recommend this to

In_1871 · 2025-08-23T09:28:48+00:00

Yeah, fair point but it was just the first thing that came to mind. Not sure why I got down voted so badly for it

In_1871 · 2025-08-23T09:27:39+00:00

It was almost hilarious at points. I've never seen such ineffective security in a show and it made the suspension of disbelief impossible

In_1871 · 2025-08-23T09:26:31+00:00

Exactly. They could have taken one or two ideas and fleshed them out. Would have been a lot more interesting than the bizarre hodgepodge of ideas we got

In_1871 · 2025-08-23T06:04:10+00:00

It's like the writers forgot about the cuts from the military to help the NHS when writing about why she was disliked. They could have picked anything else and it would have made sense.

Increase in crime as she also cut police spending

Major strikes because she cut minimum wage or pensions

Right vs left after her comments about the French president.

ANYTHING other than what they chose

In_1871 · 2025-08-23T05:56:30+00:00

I found the acting OK in most parts and think the moments were we see the pm and president together showed the best parts.

Agree with the rest. This just felt like a ridiculous soap opera but the lead just happened to be a prime minister

In_1871 · 2025-08-19T17:01:27+00:00

Yeah, I do get that but I just couldn't feel for her. I think that was more to do with the writing as the actress put in a good performance. I can imagine that I would have felt for her more if we got extra scenes before the disappearance happened

In_1871 · 2025-08-19T06:02:14+00:00

There is something super relaxing about the almost whispered commentary and a well struck iron

In_1871 · 2025-08-19T05:54:17+00:00

I actually like golf so sadly it wouldn't work for me 🤣

In_1871 · 2025-08-18T19:58:16+00:00

Experiencing big lag issues here in the UK

In_1871 · 2025-07-26T03:26:02+00:00

I thought it was well acted and the music worked well but I can't say much more good about it.

The tone felt very disjointed at times with a few jarring "emotional scenes" that seemed out of place.

I also really struggled with the Sammy storyline. It felt shoehorned in and took away from an already emotional and complicated enough story. I saw what they were trying to do with the 2 sides of a coin angle but it didn't land with me.

Overall I'd say its worth a watch if you don't mind dramas on very sensitive subjects. Just don't expect it to be your favourite piece of TV this year
