Review of Holby Blue

Holby Blue (2007–2008)
4/10
Bottom feeder stuff

I only lasted a whole 2 episodes. And even those took multiple days to watch.

The police procedure part of the story (given this is a cop show) is light, with a pretty dull story line, and very little police work actually being done. The men, as someone else has mentioned are totally one dimensional neanderthals, who lie, cheat and lie again through every interaction.

I'm all for base line sexual humour, when done in the right way, but the way it's done here, by most of the male staff, just make them look like pigs (ooh, pun), whilst the female police look like tolerant angels.

None of the antics would have been tolerated in a workplace back in 2007, especially from the female staff. Adding to the misery is the poor writing to create drama and tension, which just wouldn't happen in real life.

All in all, it makes for a rather poor cop drama, that's heavy on the forced drama and light on the cop. Thankfully it only lasted 2 seasons.
