As someone who lives in North London (where some of the episodes were filmed) I enjoy watching this simply for nostalgia reasons alone. But it should not be taken seriously at all. The relationship between Bodie and Doyle is great to watch, but the plots are ridiculous and full of holes (the 'Heroes' episode is a notable example) and anyone offended by sexism shouldn't watch it. The series is also astonishingly violent and bloody for something that is currently being shown outside the British TV viewing watershed hours on ITV4. To give an example, over the past two afternoons this channel has shown the episodes 'Killer with a Long Arm' and 'Heroes' in which many people are shot dead with blood squibs being used.
