"That Would Never Happen!" Dan and Ali write the real reviews of UK TV drama serials (stuff marketed as quality, if you please), telling it like it is rather than the my-mate's-the-director, I-get-party-invites, or the I-need-my-job reviews that often appear.

Best described as 'solid'. One of those not-great-not-terrible legal dramas with a better cast than it deserves. Really don't understand the praise this has garnered, although the second series which finishes tonight has been better than the first. The omission of the irritating pupils was a good move, ditto the single-career-woman-in-mid-life-pregnancy story.
More moral dilemmas with slightly less predictable turnouts and this would be a cut above. And perhaps less of the insufferable Clive's bedroom antics.
