This one's been lying in the queue for ages, wow. I'll try to take this one on in the coming days. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 19:01, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
Six GA Criteria
[edit]1. Article is well-written. Only minor mistakes.
2. No OR, all info is cited in the article.
3. Coverage is broad in depth and focus.
4. Article appears neutral, and does not appear to hold a significantly negative nor positive stance on the subject.
5. Article appears stable. Does not appear to have had any major vandalism occur.
6. Article uses one fair use image with proper rationale.
Lead
[edit]-What is the Anti-Corruption unit? It can be inferred from the text but I feel stating outright will make it more clear to those unfamiliar with the series and police terminology.
-Was Keeley Hawes's character a main character, recurring character, or a one-off character last season? It's not very clear.
Cast and characters
[edit]-Looks good
Episodes
[edit]-"Superintendent Ted Hastings agrees to send DC Kate Fleming" Agrees with who? Waldron, or a member of his team?
"When Waldron's team raids another drug house Fleming, who was ordered to remain on another floor, hears a gunshot, and rushes upstairs to find Waldron bleeding out." This sentence feels like two meshed together. I'm pretty sure this is meant to say that Waldron's team was ordered to another floor but went to the next one anyway, but the current wording makes it very unclear what series of events is happening. Reword this.
-"Fleming, shoots the driver" No need for comma.
Production
[edit]-Looks good
Release
[edit]-Looks good
Reception
[edit]-"Reviewing the series premiere for Den of Geek, Louisa Mellor wrote about the depth of Mercurio's writing, noting how Waldron's character was both a dirty cop and a victim." This feels only applicable to the premier rather than the series as a whole. Additionally, its commentary that it's cited for is just a recap of plot info, as this is just a summary of Waldron's character with no elaboration as to how it relates to the depth of writing.
-The bit about the former police detective makes more sense after the reviews, given it is not a review and instead an entirely unrelated incident.
-"observing that two of them together used over forty minutes of screentime." Why is this important? How does this relate to the scenes being investing?
-I feel "admired" isn't quite the right word here (Unless this was a word they used directly in the review). Perhaps something like appreciated?
-"as a riveting area of the series." In what sense?
-"often named "Urgent Exit Required,"" Isn't the name of the episode "Breach"? Why is this alternative name being brought up now? This is just confusing to anyone without knowledge of the alternate name. Either remove it or clarify this somewhere else.
-"while others commended the uncharted territory for a British television series." What kind of uncharted territory? Was the series stepping into it with its coverage? Is it talking about the uncharted territory the characters stepped into?
Overall
[edit]-@TheDoctorWho: This is looking good. Most of my points are rather small, but I feel they'll aid with understanding the prose. Ping me when they're done or if you have questions, and I'll get to the spotcheck when everything is addressed. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 13:05, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
