Detective Chief Inspector Tony Gates is an exemplary cop. He's got the best crime stats on the force and a loyal team working under him. But the head of the police anticorruption unit, Superintendent Ted Hastings, has his doubts about Gates. Is he really that good? And more importantly, is he really that clean? Hastings decides to find out and all on a new arrival to his department, Detective Sergeant Steven Arnott to help him do it. As the net tightens around Gates, reputations are on the line and lives are at risk.

Fantastic submitted by willow on July 13, 2015, 12:34pm This is one of the most memorable crime shows I have ever watched.

It is utterly different from the traditional mystery show, such as Miss Marple, Sherlock Holmes, or even a Law & Order type, where there is a crime, investigation, and solution arc. Instead, this has many threads, some of which are never resolved, and the police themselves are the real story. The corruption on the one hand, and difficulties on the job (including being overworked and stuck filling out inane forms) on the other make for a very complex and interesting look at the British police force.

Gripping submitted by Janet on July 2, 2019, 3:31pm This is one of the best British police procedural tv shows ever produced. There are plenty of shocking twists to keep you at the edge of your seat. Is Superintendent Ted Hastings "H" ? You have to keep watching to find out.

Fantastic submitted by saleder on August 27, 2022, 1:59pm From the opening scenes, you will be hooked. Watch this series in order. The characters are very interesting and have great chemistry. There are many twists and turns, and you might even find yourself holding your breath at times, it gets that intense. It's an interesting take on the police procedural genre, turning the spotlight on internal police corruption.
