Audience

Two detectives, partnered through a strong friendship, investigate murders for the Manchester Metropolitan Police. Their cases are driven by mutual trust and they lean on each other’s strengths as both their personal and professional lives come into play.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy Scott & Bailey if you like character-driven British crime stories with a close detective partnership and ongoing personal stakes; Not for you if you only want case-focused episodes or dislike shows where personal drama weighs heavily, such as Vera or Lewis.
