Handheld Camera


I feel that shooting the show using handheld camera really ruined it. I'm guessing that the makers wanted to give it a "gritty" and "edgier" feeling but it failed miserably. It is visually very annoying and serves no purpose especially in quiet scenes which involve a mere conversation between people.

Other than that, the show had all the qualities to become a great show. Great acting with no over-the-top annoying characters e.g the CSI ones, No unnecessary high-tech mumbo jumbo, Believable plotlines. The handheld jerky camera work was the only negative thing about the show and it was a BIG negative!


Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.'
