Press

Paul Abbott's pacy and compelling police drama continues, with the consequences of the crematorium bomb continuing to multiply. And, as her team face life-threatening situations, Joanna Scanlan's DI Viv Deering is only just holding it together. The strength of No Offence lies in this beautifully realised vulnerability: these cops are hard-bitten, but very human, and their dilemmas, anxieties and mistakes give the series heart, heft and a real ring of truth.

Phil Harrison, The Guardian, 11th January 2017

No Offence review

No Offence is the anti-Sherlock of police procedurals.

Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 11th January 2017

Why I love No Offence

Paul Abbott's police procedural series with guts, heart and a killer sense of humour is back on Channel 4 for round two. Mickey Noonan couldn't be more chuffed.
