Warning: Spoilers
Somewhat formulaic, but my major complaint is that it makes Scottish law enforcement look like Keystone Cops. I know that is not the case. If I'm to suspend disbelief there has to be a limit to the ridiculous behavior of "law enforcement" in a series. Letting a family member latch onto their dead son at a crime scene? Um, no. Not in any part of the world that has a clue about forensics..... A police force that doesn't seem to know it has a radio missing during a MAJOR investigation? Sorry. Not any that I know of would be that dumb. And another thing, are all parents in Scotland willing to let their child be an impediment to an investigation? I know the TV world is all hugs and understanding, but again, if I am to suspend disbelief then I need a bit of reality to creep into the story occasionally. I really wanted to like this series more than I do, because most of the junk put out is just that. Junk. Especially here in the good ol' U.S. of A. I just wish that writers and directors didn't assume that the entire audience has an IQ lower than their shoe size.
