Let's be honest getting 4 blokes with no criminal records to stage an armed robbery in which someone is killed, just to delay getting to a stake-out is so ridiculous it's laughable.
Sorry, but for me it's unrealistic dross..
Daytime soap is a well known phrase but I have never heard of a daytime crime drama. Any examples?

Most shows are full of holes. I watched Unforgotten and thoroughly enjoyed it but what I found a bit unbelievable was that they found witness who had clear recollections of events 30 years ago or shops or companies that had still got 30 year old receipts and were able to find them with no trouble at all!

But such devices are common in crime dramas.You often have to suspend belief otherwise you would never watch them!
