nidalloyd Review of Durham County

Durham County (2007–2010)

Intriguing first season, then goes off the rails.

[7/10 · 23 October 2020]

I found this series because I am a fan of Hugh Dillon. I have chronic pain and sometimes use suspenseful drama to distract me from my aching, throbbing, body. The first season had enough intrigue to work for me. This show really went off the rails in the second season, implausible characters and situations. The third was even worse. Adding wooden, bad acting by the woman who played Sabine. That character was really annoying. I also noticed that in Durham County Violent, Gory crimes are prolific, yet one police officer, maybe 2, go in to extremely dangerous situations without backup EVERY FREAKING TIME and come out unscathed. I like Sadie Character and she is well acted but that girl has some extreme damage and instead of getting help she just keeps making bad decisions and going in to dangerous situations. In the third season she is even sent in to horrible situations by her superiors who reprimand her and send her back again and again.
