This is not really a cop show at all. Perhaps, but incidentally. It is certainly not about solving crimes or catching villains.
The setting is urban but in a small enough patch for the audience to get to know and carry in its heart. We are not fighting crime in an anonymous metropolis. Nor following the bobby in Ruritania. It’s just a town in the middle of an endless conurbation.
The Cops goes out into the community with the police, live there with them and use their unique perspective to witness just how our society is working or not.
