The good - lively intro, seaside location and Kerry Godliman. The bad - boring, lacklustre storylines with not enough mystery. It's all been done before, horny mother living with adult daughter who is single with a kid (shades of The Coroner), brooding detective with tragic past and zero personality (just about any cop show in the last 20 years). There is no spark between the two main characters and the romance feels forced. What on earth has Frances Barber done to her face, it doesn't move? The Coroner was much better.
