I thought this would be a good idea but I could be wrong (I sometimes am!)...
What are your general thoughts about Series 1 of The Sweeney??
Were there any stand out moments that really took your breath away?
Were there any moments that you'd rather not have seen?!
Here is the place to pool all your thoughts about Series 1 of The Sweeney!!

Great start to the great series, just one dud episode, imo, Night Out. Just do not like this one at all. Thin Ice is one which divides opinion, but I like it.

Possibly my favourite Sweeney dialogue is in series 1. The highlight being Regan's 'Haskins has done for the Sweeney what the Boston Strangler did for door to door salesman'!

Yes agreed. It's the tone of the delivery of that line that really makes it as well.

Must admit I've given The Sweeney an extended break from my watch list. However all this talk of The Sweeney and an impending visit to the manor has me thinking that I must end its hiatus.
It will be good to work through the whole lot again this year.
S1 has good DNA for my money. It is testing the ground in some areas such as Thin Ice. Some of the characters like Thorpe don't last into later series but overall its very strong for an opening series. I like every episode.
