In recent years I have sneaked a recommendation for this series into several threads on this board. I was interested to read in this BBC article of the production problems. These may explain its sometimes "scrappy" quality. However, I do not think this detracts from its success. It just removes it further from the realm of polished studio productions which, in this case, is a good thing.
It is streaming on BritBox, which is available in the USA and other Anglophone nations outside the UK. If you get a chance to watch it, please give it a try. For me it is the best original drama ever shown on British TV. Many may struggle with the Geordie accents so I hope it has captions.
