Zoli 12 guage Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 anyone else watching/watched this? watched the first series 2 or 3 years since and i'm presently into the first 12 minutes of episode 4 series 2 and true to form the main protagonist has been been blown up more times that a well used inflatable sex doll.

chrisjpainter Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Oh it's all terribly silly. Lana's the black knight from Monty Python; a bomb goes off next to her and it's all 'tis but a scratch! Good, vacuous, explody fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgun Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Is that the one where a helicopter canon opens fire through the window and they walk away, if so then no I'm not watching it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 I must admit, I prefer Silent Witness with that rather nice Emilia Fox. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Never watched any of it and never will. Plus I'm bored with actresses, especially McClure, playing roles where a woman pretends she can outdo, outbrave, outthink and outfight men.

Bit awkward that the main antagonist in this series is a woman, isn't it?Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely nothing in the plot or the action that a woman couldn't do. In fact, the British Army's first female bomb disposal expert called McClure's character 'a very credible EOD officer'. But clearly you know more than her, despite never having seen it.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 It was a general point about actresses pretending to be tough guys rather than anything specific about that show or it's accuracy. Oh, and I prefer not be accused of being moronic if you don't mind. I do recall the very same actress in 'Line of Duty' running around London on foot chasing a Range Rover and loosing off bursts with an assault rifle. Credible or just plain silly? BTW, my father worked in bomb disposal during ww2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was talking about McClure's character in Trigger Point (as she was a bomb disposal expert), so not really anything to do with her role in LoD.Β Β Oh.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets betterΒ and I like how things are gradually unwinding for Lana's homelife. I think they make her deal with it in a very believable way. Someone with so many ours of Afghanistan/Iraq and seeing people get blown up in front of her might not be the most well adjusted person! So when she just shouts and swears at her mum and dad, it works. No organising therapy, no sitting down and talking about feelings, just reactive swearing and blunt, naked abuse! The plot's no less bonkers, but it's TV entertainment, so I guess that's fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
