NO OFFENCE, Series 1 (Exclusive North American Premiere, Trailer)

Called "an irresistible feast for all the senses" (The Telegraph) and winner of the Best Drama Series from the Royal Television Society, No Offence is Channel 4's outrageous female-driven police procedural from award-winning writer Paul Abbott (Shameless (UK), State of Play). The Guardian said about No Offence that a "comedy drama is a rare thing - both gripping and funny, with a central team of characters who breathe real life intro the police procedural." The series stars Joanna Scanlan (Requiem, Notes on a Scandal) and Elaine Cassidy (Acceptable Risk). Mixing laugh-out-loud moments with heartfelt drama, No Offence is a police procedural with a difference. Set in a crumbling cop shop on the wrong side of Manchester, No Offence follows an unorthodox crack team of cops on the front line, wondering what they did to end up here, in this force, on this side of town. Keeping these streets clean is a Herculean task, enough to demoralize even the keenest rookie - but there's a reason why this hotchpotch of committed cops are on this force, on this side of town. Drug labs, arsonists, neo-Nazis and notorious murderers are all in a day's work for this close-knit team, led by the dizzyingly capable but unquestionably unhinged DI Vivienne Deering (Scanlan).
