Excellent introductory monologue from the sergeant at a lectern, sets the scene without being speechy preachy. The gritty, realistic style is appropriate and also present in the opening credits overlaid with saxophone and reportage.
The story runs on multiple strands, possibly too many, but the jumping around is like a kangaroo on heat, making it a huge effort to focus on what is going on. This might improve now characters and themes are established.
A decent first episode, it remains to be seen if this excels or tanks.
