London Kills (2019– )
7/10
BIG RED BUSES!!
29 August 2023
This show seems very sloppy procedurally, in most shows cops are served up to internal scrutiny pretty smartly but here we have cops accused of murder going largely unchallenged, associating with witnesses, withholding information, bullying suspects, charging suspects without the sniff of legal representation, young people/kids with no "appropriate adult".

And the pacing/editing is so off.

Crimes being investigated for days or weeks and they start referring to "this morning" and "last night" as if it just happened in the clothes they were wearing at the time of the crime.

All the low lives have perfect white capped teeth :) make up dept ? And who is that mystery thin shadowy female copper in so many random shots of the precinct corridor?

It's ok and quite watchable but these details matter they just throw you out of the moment and are distracting.

One thing you will never forget after this is that London has big red double decker buses 😂....every.single.panning.over. London BIG RED BUSES I VE SEEN DOZENS BY NOW IS IT A JOKE?? Well its a dumb and tedious one.

Im now in to Season 3 and still no legal reps. Interviews and confessions never or very rarely recorded?

Someone complained about phones ringing in background but they must have their shows mixed up, there are no phones in this ringing in the background!?

There's plot holes galore and the speed of unravelling crimes is absurd but thats pretty usual in tv police land, otherwise we d be bored to sobs.

David's wife Sarah and daughter have disappeared from the narrative after all the FUSS. Weird.
