British television has a knack for doing more with less, and The Sweeney is a prime example. It's currently available in the US on Britbox Apple TV Channel and BritBox, and in the UK on Sky Go and ITVX Premium, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. An 8/10 rating means the audience agrees.
The procedural format gives The Sweeney its backbone, but it's the characters you come back for. Jack Regan, an unethical officer of the Flying Squad, uses unorthodox methods to pursue criminals with the help of his partner, George Carter. John Thaw and Dennis Waterman lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 4 seasons (1975–1978), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
Perfect for viewers who think they've already seen all the great crime dramas. The Sweeney is the one that tends to prove them wrong.
