Apparently, the Brits didn't learn the lesson of "Cop Rock," as this six-episode BBC murder mystery series features characters that randomly burst into song. (At least they choose their songs wisely, taking on classics by the likes of Queen, The Smiths and Nancy Sinatra.)

Just downloaded and watched this series.........David Tennant's performances here and in Doctor Who prove that he is a God. I wish we had more stuff like Blackpool stateside.

Marion B gave it a10:
Brilliant concept acted with brio.
Alan S gave it a10:
This is absolutely brilliant; I'm interested in philosophy and on that level, this is also rewarding - the intensity of the acting is unsurpassed; the use of musical genres for emotional content is amazing. One ends up caring about the characters; it's a shame the series isn't literally continuous.
Jason S gave it a10:
Only saw last episode, but it was too good. It is a kind of of musical melodrama which bends your ideas of reality out of shape, replacing one concept of reality for a more macabre ,less serious one. Some of the best one liners are delivered on it, ie. "You're a loser waiting for his life to start". The script is brilliant, and so is the delivery. It is daring comedy which does come off.
Jill G gave it an8:
Initially, wasn't impressed. Thought it was hokey. However, once you get into the story and the deep character portrayals, it grows on you. The music is fantastic. David Morrisey and David Tennant are particularly talented (and as a female - may I say not too bad to look at). I look forward to it each week.
