content

Set in Manchester, the series portrays a team of investigators from the fictional Manchester Metropolitan Police , Revier Friday Street, in the hunt for a serial killer (Season 1). Although the team consists of very different and also very idiosyncratic characters, they work very well together. In season 2, the basic theme is organized crime with gang wars, child exploitation and abuse. Possible privatization of police services, right-wing extremist attacks and the everyday danger for the police against the background of upcoming mayoral elections are the main motifs of season 3.

characters

Vivienne Deering

Joanna Scanlan plays the team leader DI Vivienne Deering. Looking eccentric, but extremely capable, she keeps her team back free in any unorthodox approach. She is also by no means satisfied with sitting behind the desk as the manager, but eagerly joins in and does not avoid any crisis.

Dinah Kowalska

DC Dinah Kowalska, played by Elaine Cassidy , is a very impulsive officer who often uses gut instincts and likes to ignore the correct approach. She lives her job with full commitment.

Joy Freers

Alexandra Roach embodies the deputy team leader Joy Freers. She is very committed, but rather shy in appearance and therefore also has some concerns in her private life. The “wallflower” is surprisingly energetic at the crucial moment.

Reviews

Anke Sterneborg from zeit.de writes: “Gruff fighters with loose mouths who say what they think, regardless of decency and morals. Who dupes at first glance, only to sneak through the back door into the heart, with surprising warmth and gorgeous humor. "

The FAZ writes: “The producer and screenwriter Paul Abbott reverses roles in 'No Offence'. The women are real guys. ”But they are also“ quick-witted, sympathetic, overwhelmed, incapable and are always besieged from all sides. ”“ The characters follow common patterns (serious cop, funny cop, daredevil, wallflower), are sympathetic and sufficiently complex. The interspersed gags are tough but hearty; Clichés are easily caricatured and then fulfilled again. "

DVD publications

The first season of the series has been available in Germany since September 2, 2016.
