  • Nick nabs a thief in a seemingly open-and-shut case - but it is Sasha's brother, who pressures him into dropping the matter; while it emerges that a woman who reports her husband missing, had a one-night fling with Wayne. Not one of my favourites...moreless

    This review contains spoilers.

    'Trust Me' is probably one of my least favourite 'Blue Heelers' episodes thus fur in the series. It just doesn't work for me on several levels.

    There is the initial plot, of Nick catching the car parts thief, seemingly caught red handed, who turns out to be Sasha's brother; Sasha promptly pressures Nick into protecting her brother from charge. Sasha moves in with Nick during this story, but after the conclusion of the matter with her brother, they part company. I didn't find this plot particularly engrossing, but to be honest I have got a little bored of the Nick / Sasha relationship by this point, so maybe it was the development that the story arc needed.

    Then there is the second plot, of Wayne admitting to having a one-night fling with a woman while on duty. Overlooking whatever moral stance might be taken, I felt that this plot offered absolutely nothing other than being conjured up as the standard "story of the week", and I wasn't keen on it at all. It added nothing to Wayne's character, and presented more questions than it did answers. I always liked to think that Wayne took his duties very seriously, enough as not to dally around with married women whilst on duty.

    And, of course, would you believe it, the two cases turn out to be related! Now, in 'Blue Heelers' or just about any other cop show, from any country, there are often two parallels cases that turn out to be connected in the end. In a way, it's all part and parcel of delivering and wrapping up a Police case in 60 minutes. And to be fair, when 'Blue Heelers' handles such a structure, it usually does it well. Which is why I was so surprised at how clumsily it was carried out here it felt to be handled too heavy handed, and far too coincidental for my liking.

    So, all-in-all, as you may have gathered, not one of my particular 'Blue Heelers' favourites. In fairness, it does have some fair character moments (and look out for the left-in outtake in the car lock-up, where Lisa McCune trips over a spare part on the floor, and Martin Sacks comments "watch your step"!), and is much better than some of the late episodes, where most of the popular original stars had departed. But coming from the generally strong second season, I found this one to be a letdown. I can only award it a (maybe generous) 6.5.moreless
