NO OFFENCE, Series 2 (Exclusive U.S./Canada Premiere, TRAILER)

Called "an irresistible feast for all the senses" (The Telegraph) and winner of the Best Drama Series from the Royal Television Society, No Offence is Channel 4's outrageous female-driven police procedural from award-winning writer Paul Abbott (Shameless (UK), State of Play). The series stars Joanna Scanlan (Requiem, Notes on a Scandal) and Elaine Cassidy (Acceptable Risk). Mixing laugh-out-loud moments with heartfelt drama, No Offence is set in a crumbling cop shop on the wrong side of Manchester and follows an unorthodox crack team of cops on the front line. In Series 2, dizzyingly capable but unquestionably unhinged DI Vivienne Deering (Scanlan) is back and this time she and the Friday St. team are thrust head to head against a ferocious and unpredictable Nigerian crime matriarch, Nora Attah (Reike Ayola, Holby City). In between fighting their way through the unexpected and unpredictable crimes of week, Friday Street and the Attahs push each other to the point of destruction with shocking and naturally unpredictable consequences. This time we're hoping everyone makes it out alive. (7 EPS)
