10 British TV Dramas You Need To Be Watching
6. Scott & Bailey
Following the trials and tribulations of two detectives working in the Major Incident Team at Manchester’s Metropolitan Police force, Scott & Bailey is more than your average procedural. The series primarily focuses on the friendship between Janet and Rachel, their personal lives and the cases that they’re working on together.
However, Janet and Rachel soon realise that being friends is hard when you’re sometimes on opposite sides of the law. They may be police officers, but they’re also human. Suranne Jones, Lesley Sharpe and Amelia Bullmore lead an exceptional cast in this wonderful police drama which ran for five seasons.
Scott & Bailey has everything you could possibly want from a riveting drama — and it certainly makes you wish you had a friend like Janet.
