No Offence returns for a third series, with D.I. Viv Deering and her team from Friday Street station once more clashing with the underworld and their overlords alike.This third series kicks off with the attempted assassination of a local politician by a new Far Right group an attack which has devastating consequences for the Friday Street team. There's no time for tears, though, as not only is the maniac still on the loose but the politicos are turning the situation to their advantage. Viv and Friday Street find themselves pawns in a political chess match, which is the last thing they need as incidents of hate crime soar in the city. Viv's never had it to tough and finds she must deploy every weapon in her arsenal to keep her team together and restore peace to a community wracked with political and xenophobic uncertainty.'[Deering] is a brilliant creation, rude as eff and in your face, but also warm and human, and adored by her team of under-resourced crime-stoppers. Rude and warm, it is a lovely combination.' The Guardian'A feast for all the senses.' The Daily Telegraph'No Offence's plotting is clever, its tone original and its dialogue often glorious.' The Times'No matter how gritty the crimes get, there's always this kind of glow coming from the characters. It echoes the genius of Abbott's earlier series Shameless...there was a never-ending stream of warmth. Just the thing for January nights (and indeed the rest of the year).'
