What worries me the most is the depiction of the present as a dead place crippled by political correctness, to which a violent fictional past is preferable.
I liked the first series largely because it seemed to be a very positive "look how far we've come" statement, but after reading an interview with the creators, hearing that there's a new cop show set in the 60es specifically so violence against suspects is OK in it AND a LoM spin-off starring Gene Hunt and seeing this ending, I now get a feeling that it's all a bit less savoury than that.
