No Offence
More balls than the average cop show.
Created by Paul Abbott
On Channel 4
A darkly comedic police procedural anchored by a close-knit Manchester team tackling brutal crimes with gallows humour and genuine camaraderie.
Keeping these streets clean is a Herculean task, enough to demoralize even the keenest rookie – but there’s a reason why this hotchpotch of committed cops are on this force, on this side of town. Drug labs, arsonists, neo-Nazis and notorious murderers are all in a day’s work for this close-knit team, led by the dizzyingly capable but unquestionably unhinged DI Vivienne Deering. But when a particularly twisted serial killer emerges it leaves even the most hardened of these seasoned coppers reeling.
