Read our privacy policy “Not another cop show!” might be your entirely understandable response, upon tuning into ITV’s Piglets. Created by some of the writers behind the iconic Channel 4 series Green Wing, Piglets finds that show’s creator, Victoria Pile, and the team returning to familiar territory. Undercooked and underdeveloped: ‘Piglets’ looks like a rush job The model of Green Wing is ever-present in Piglets, from the fast cuts and pulpy transitions to the low-level visual absurdity. From The Thin Blue Line to Black Ops, it’s proved difficult to make an effective television comedy about the police – and Piglets does nothing to change that.
