Why, in police procedural dramas, are interviewees always doing some other distracting thing (applying makeup, doing washing up, playing computer games) when police want to converse? Watch, next time. It’s always a thing.

Whereas in real life we’d be shaking with nerves.

Always preceded with "you'd better come in" after the knock on the door, too... Or are we watching too many repeats?

Because people are busy and don't have time to stand around chatting with detectives?

I thought it was SO WEIRD and unsubtle what they made people do!

I like the story, so far but some style and tone choices are puzzling.

Yeah I got thoroughly distracted by how over-styled some characters were, compared to others

WHY IS THE ENTIRE BASEMENT A GIANT GENTS TOILET

That is odd, isn’t it. Toilets and showers.

Also why is the police station more like an art college full of art students

Half of them felt like they’d wandered on from the set of Sex Education.

It was...slightly uneven in tone.

I can pinpoint when this started. It was during an episode of "Frost". He wanted to ask a woman where her wayward son was and she was pegging out the washing. I couldn't believe it but now it has become the norm.
