   Here I am watching Taggart without much attention.  I don't care. It has   
   fallen into a rut.  A murder to start and one more before each 30 minutes   
   elapsed. Oh dear. As soon as Grim Up North starts I'm switching over.  I   
   couldn't give a damn who killed who.   
      
   Why can't we have a proper cop show?  When did the multiple mass murder plot   
   become required?  Shoestring got it right with the small crime and didn't   
   suffer for it.  Unless you are making Homicide: Life on the Street you are   
   really making a soap story of human interaction wrapped in a cop show   
   format. Yet Taggart has forgotten this.  It's a waste of a two hour slot.
