It was nice to have a crime drama set in Aberdeen and in Scotland, but this isn't a Shetland or Taggart or Vera or across the pond, a Bosch. It doesn't have the quality that starts with the script which wasn't good, the plot and dialog were poor. Simpson was poorly cast as the lead, the two best actors were Gary Lewis and Ross Anderson, the rest of the cast was mediocre.
I watched all three episodes thinking it would eventually improve, but it never did. The plot of a "rebel detective" who solves the crime is so cliched. The last thing that a police service wants is a rebel, someone they can't control who ends up costing them in lawsuits. It's not reality.
