This feels more like 4,5 hours of propaganda than a tv series. It's cringeworthingly obvious how the story and characters weren't given much thought. The series is unexciting and dull, and the characters feel artificial. The acting also feels artificial at times, which is the product of bad writing and not bad actors.
I don't know if the writer of this series was running ut of work and decided to use the well known technique of being overly politically correct to get back in business, but it's a hot guess -

This is not Mr. Robot, a flashy House of Cards or even River. This is a British crime drama of the old school, as they've been done for decades, which at least caught my attention in the most positive sense. Not sure where the propaganda is meant to be. Or where the overly politically correctness is?
An introduction of the characters, disparate but clearly in some way connected. Providing the catalyst the body of a young man murdered over thirty five years ago that sparks the action. This is normal people you would meet everyday, there's sadness and lots of realism. The characters are real people, it's great acting and a wonderful pace, that's why I like it so much.
Maybe this is for a specific type of audience, and it's obviously not for you. I find it both touching and honest with powerful performances, you know real life. -

The OP does not explain what he or she meant by "politically correct " . It is usually a code phrase used to mean " There are Black or Asian , Gay or Disabled characters ". Well that is how it is in real life and this top-drawer drama reflects that fact.
I am a big fan of police dramas and this is one of the best.
