TV Review: The thin blue line

See the source image

Release date: November 13th 1995 - December 23rd 1996. Two series. Fourteen episodes.

Story: The comedic life and trials of the policemen and women at Gasforth police station.

My thoughts: Even though this has the great Rowan Atkinson in it, it sadly not a very good show. Despite of there only being two seasons, the jokes are often not funny and sometimes the characters are not that likable. Like in the first episode of series two, Inspector Fowler (Rowan Atkinson's character) deliberately allowed a criminal to walk free in court in order to keep his morals (despite the fact that the evidence was planted) and in the last episode of series two when Detective Inspector Derek Grim of CID keeps stating that Fowler will never get a promotion due to the fact that Fowler is not married yet lives with his lover for ten years. The jokes are also too adult and not to my liking. But if you like Rowan Atkinson in anything then give this a watch.

My score: Two stars.
