Trigger Point did enough to establish itself as its own beast, most notably with the bold move to stage the whole first episode as a big set piece.

It’s nuts, in a benevolent and entertaining way that makes it easy to set aside your higher neural functions. ... Sniping, gas mains, therapy and problematic sex are pulled into the mix along with the frequent explosions, and everything culminates in a ludicrous, delicious showdown.

Trigger Point has lots of tension, and a fair amount of action. What it doesn’t really have is much character development or an intriguing central plot. But you try to look away as Lana tries to defuse bomb after bomb after bomb.

It’s a show that reminds us how very brave bomb disposal officers are. I’m just not sure yet if long sequences watching wires being snipped in bathrooms makes for very good telly. We’ll see. At least McClure, who I thought always got the worst lines in LoD, has centre stage here and, after a slow start, there’s enough to keep watching — for now.

The lesson of this derivative but watchable thriller is that if you spend enough time around bombs, the choice might end up being made for you.

It’s great fun as long as you set your preposterousness levels to “high”. Go in thinking CSI: Peckham or Line of Bomb Duty or Bomby McBombface, rather than The Wire But With Actual Wires or Breaking Explosively Badly and you’ll enjoy yourself a lot more.
