Babylon

London’s police force brings in an ambitious American public-relations specialist to overhaul its image and modernize its communications.

You’ll like this if you enjoy biting workplace satire, profane police drama, and morally messy institutional comedy, especially shows with the energy of The Thick of It; Not for you if you prefer straightforward, realistic procedurals.
