![]() Police/forensic procedural series set in Dundee - unusual storyline and some clunky bits but I was hooked. -- Last edit: 2021-01-12 22:27:28 |

But mostly filmed in Manchester? |

If so, they were cheating. There was some small plot elements for Manchester in short early clips, but not a major feature. There was a lot of recognisable Dundee locations, but also several non-specific "Dundee" locations (general buildings, yards etc) which could have been filmed anywhere without affecting the story. And almost all the cast was Scottish - only Emma had a Manc accent, which was part of the story. Rejects: Ep 1.06 - flashback to 2001 - van with a pivotal 2 ![]() ![]() ![]() - Ford steering wheel logo, probably Transit?? Ep 1.06 - exhumation recovery van, 1 ![]() ![]() ![]() Ep 1.05 - distant blue Audi estate for Walter ![]() - eye-catching colour ... um ... caught my eye and I wondered if one of the exotic RS Avant versions. But no other view to pursue ... |

We have a nice S6 Avant C4 (even a Plus probably) in Nogaro blue |

S2 (6 eps) added. But it's a mess - they've literally lost the plot - the unusual central saga of S1 is abruptly written out in ep 2.02 without being concluded, leaving a great big hole which they desperately try to fill with melodramatic romances between cardboard cut-out characters which even Eastenders would reject as too clunky. Meanwhile a nutter sets off homemade bombs around Dundee for no real reason, even on nutter-logic. It's all become very silly ... Please either let it die now, or if anyone is desperate enough to commission a 3rd series, bring back the unfinished central plot from S1 and focus on that without trying to throw all the soap opera froth into the mix. And bring in a better director and scriptwriter who can give the cast something less wooden to work with. |

I read the IMDb description, it's a good plot device for the goal to be one mysterious killer that is eluding capture or a young person kidnapped or missing. That's what drives the plot forward in True Detective and the first season of Stranger Things. |
