A BAD idea done badly is bad; good ideas squandered are worse

A BAD idea done badly is bad; good ideas squandered are worse. The 3 Bags Full Company give us the latter with this comic look at the effect of television crime shows. The episodic work is devised and written by the young cast, and with no-one listed as director, the genuinely good jokes and well-made points get lost amidst irrelevant flashbacks and too much shouting. Nevertheless, Sorcha Fox impresses as a delinquent with Father Ted associations.
