To declare that the female lead in this series is 'abrasive' would be akin to saying that Mission Impossible has some action sequences.
She is so contrarily stubborn and abrasive that it's impossible to stay attached to the plotline.
Every word or action her protagonist speaks or does is set upon by her with an absolute vengeance.
If this weren't enough to put anyone who normally enjoys police dramas off, the ridiculous improbability of some of the police procedures is seriously laughable. As I don't want this review relegated to the 'spoiler' section of reviews, let me just say I watched, with some tongue in cheek, up to and including episode four. At that point the events become so absurd and silly that I wondered if I had strayed into a cartoon series.
If you like overly- strong-willed women in charge and submissive men, then this is the one for you. For the remainder of humanity, though, it falls seriously short of believable.

If you'd like to spend many hours watching unimmpowered police do little more than social work, then enjoy.
The majority of their 'police' work appears to be dealibng with mental health issues, breaking up fights at closing time outside a bar and being verbvally abused thanks to a legal system that has little or no teeth when it comes to enforcement.
If you'd like to see a police show that features real police with real powers dealing with problem people in a no-nonsence way watch highway patrol...THIS is how policing should be .
It's difficult to watch as the editing is done in such a way that essentially, we see the same old stuff over and over.

At 30 minutes this show dewfinitely moves along. Each episode is chock full of action from these no-nonse police. Compared to the frud that tried to entertain us today, this is an absolute gem/. There's not a lot 'preview' of what you're going to see one minute from now unlike new shows and equally, very little after-show waste of time except a tid-bit of whha's upcoming.
Happily tghere are quite a few seasons and I'll watch them with a smile on my face as the penalties are DECIDEDLY no-nonsense.
This used to be the way it was in Canada but sadly, the law, as I feel it had degenerated in Britain, has no TEETH anymore. Far too many tiny fines and community service or similar slaps on the wrist.
Perhaps the land down under is no longer like this, more's the pity, but at least these series are right on.
