ITV DI Ray fans left divided about show but all in agreement on one thing – Birmingham Live

ITV DI Ray fans have been left divided by the opening episode - but all are in agreement: Birmingham has stolen the show. Fans have commented saying they love the Brum backdrop to the new drama.

But some think the series if off to a dull and boring start. Bird said: "#DIRAY anyone else bored already? Was hoping it would be a good drama but its so slow." But Rebecca shot back: "We really enjoyed it fail to see how people thought it was boring... was fab."

Gavin Evans said: "Finding #DIRay really boring." Dennis remarked: "#DIRay shes being followed so she leads them to her home .... not exactly the most intelligent thing for a detective inspector to do surely."

But Cleo said: "#DIRay enjoying the first episode and love the premise. Promoted to tick a box but only speaks English and GCSE Spanish, made me smile, Real. Filmed in Brum and mainly West Mids cast.." And Excuse Me said: "I'm quite enjoying the slower pace, with no one being shot or exploded body parts scattered across a car park yet. Bit different from the Line of Duty team #DIRay."

LJ Kaboom said: "Im not enjoying #DIRay and not for reasons the old racists on here are banging on about such as political correctness. I just think the story is lacking and there hasnt been enough investment in the characters. Its good to see a show filmed in Birmingham though."

Another "Good lord, this plod drama is, well, plodding." Another said: "Anyone else bored already? Was hoping it would be a good drama but it's so slow."
