PREP Look back at the bullet point questions and write down your own responses on your blog. Title of your post CUFFS.
- Do you agree with the view that the programme offers a 'pro-police perspective'? What do you understand by that? What evidence is there of that so far?
I agree that the tv show CUFFS is a pro-police perspective programme because they show a lot of scenes were the police save the day or were the police were under appreciated for the things they do. an example is when in the scene were Ryan, Jake, Donna and Lino are all having lunch they act normal and are chatting while on their break, but then Donna asks what happened to Jake today and he replied, "I've been bled on, spat on and felt up". When we hear what he has to go through as a police offer we start to have empathy for him and other police offers and feel sorry for them and how they are treated when they are just trying to do the right thing. Also we feel nervous when Ryan is being backed into a corner and being threatened by a criminal called 'Benson'. Because we get to see an insight to what a police officer has to face daily. We discussed police procedural genre conventions and compared those of Endeavour with Cuffs.

ReplyDeleteYou have understood that 'Cuffs' offers a sympathetic perspective on the police and that things are shown from their point of view. You have picked two episodes, of which you deal with the first in more detail.
