after 2 seasons, this feels like the worst UK detective drama I've ever seen. but it was created in 2011, so maybe it worked well then, case/investigation-wise, but the characters were shitty even then. season 3, is even worse. they just make others suffer, in personal life & in professional lives. and everyone else gets punished for it but never them. had it been some gangsta stuff or some misguided loyalties, I'd have understood them but this is...i just can't sympathize with them. don't know what the writer thought they were doing with character development, it has made it worse to watch. season 4, continues with the trend to promote these ladies who aren't really that brilliant compared to others & keeps firing others for little mistakes.

I miss S&B and Rachel will always be my favourite because she's more of an anti-hero and she makes mistakes and she's generally more human, but I totally understand and support Suranne's decision to quit. Rachel is a hot mess all right but the writers most certainly overdid her fallibility.

Sally Wainwright sure likes to put Suranne Jones' characters through hell and back. Rachel may be a fuckup but goodness gracious the show gets a bit overdone with being too harsh on her. Anyway, I can't believe it's been 3 years since Scott & Bailey ended and I still think Bailey is Suranne's second best character after Anne Lister.

Scott and Bailey is one of my all time favorite police procedural shows, right up there with Vera and Shetland. I expect no different from Sally Wainwright, who created the show based on an idea by one of the leads, Suranne Jones.

It reminds me of the U.S. show Cagney and Lacey, for those older v More
