I read the reviews on here before watching this and so was surprised that the first episode was actually OK and by no means as dire as many reviewers had suggested.
Yes it had a "soapy" feel to it -- the "comedy" in-laws -- but Sophie Rundle was quite watchable as PC Joanna Marshall and the scenes of flooding seemed pretty realistic.
Unfortunately, as soon as PC Joanna Marshall decides she knows better than to follow standard police procedure, things start to go down hill. And by the end of the final episode, the story has become so convoluted that I'd stopped caring what happened.
So, if you want a believable story, please look elsewhere. I watched a couple of episodes of the new season of Silent Witness (s27ep03 and s27ep04 - Grievance Culture) and they were much more enjoyable than the 6 episodes of After the Flood.
