I can still remember where and with whom I watched X-Cops for the first time, it's definitely one of those episodes. But then it's meant to be. Like Home or Humbug, it fits in by not fitting in at all and by staying long and vivid in your imagination. Judson Mills has the unenviable task of making us comfortable in the episode's presence and he pulls it off with a casual, underplayed performance that probably looks considerably more natural than it actually is. The Sgt. Paula Duthie character could have been an horrendous, cliché-ridden mess, but Dee Freeman's timing and delivery are exquisite and the episode is blessed by her presence. Michael Watkin's couldn't really go wrong with the direction of X-Cops, but the scrappy and jumpy camera work is kept just enough in check and left just enough loose for you to believe that every second of every frame is as intended. Hands up anyone who doesn't love X-Cops...Thought so.
