It is mate.
Blown away is the right word, as imo it’s one of the best British dramas of all time, but by god is it bleak.
It‘s come from four books written by David Peace, who did the Damned United and the books will blow you away too.
Even though there‘s four books, they’re called the Red Riding trilogy for some reason.
I re read the books every couple of years, as they’re in my all time favs list, but you have to mentally prepare yourself to read them, as at no point in the four books is there isn’t a single uplifting moment !
The Detectives - Taking Down an OCG ( organised crime group )
Three part fly on the wall, filmed over four years, as a special unit of Rochdale CID attempt to take out the gang that controls the drug trade in the whole of Rochdale.
A truly outstanding documentary. fascinating and frightening in equal measure.
The Police Officers and witnesses in this are proper heroes, as there’s nothing the gang won‘t stop at - serious threats to to the investigating officers and their families, jury interference, witness intimidation and kidnap.
BBC 2, but on catchup too.

I’ve watched the whole series over the last week. Excellent, really engrossing watch. Although I’m in to true crime, I’ve never known much about the Yorkshire Ripper case. This was really eye-opening and the focus of the story about the victims (rather than Sutcliffe) was a great creative choice.
West Yorkshire Police in the 70s and 80s look like the biggest gaggle of clowns, pure incompetence over the Ripper while ped gangster Jimmy Savile was also doing whatever the hell he wanted on their patch.
….enjoyed that. Thanks for the heads-up.

If anyone is tempted to watch Bodies on Netlfix, due to Stephen Graham being in it, don`t bother, as it`s dreadful.
I`ve seen better stuff on weekday afternoons on C5.
I lasted two episodes before ditching it - the sets are rubbish, bad CGI, dreadful acting and writing.

Great cinematography. I like Mariko with a bit of an edge she can't quite hide, the way she should in this society. Blackthorne seems like a bit of a casting miss. The actor's face leaves him looking forever unsure of himself, which is not Blackthorne. Picked the right guy to step into Toshiro Mifune's shoes. Great in the most recent John Wick. Didn't think anyone could do Toranaga justice again, any more than they were likely to find someone to rival Richard Chamberlain.
Seems promising.
What a SHOUT mate, on second ep now x
Some proper proper bad lads.
