Code 404 will premiere on Sky One and NOW TV on Wednesday April 29th (time-slot TBC).
Code 404 is set in the near future and will revolve around two Detective Inspectors, DI John Major and DI Roy Carver, who are the top crime fighting duo in the Unit. But when an undercover sting goes horribly wrong, Major is gunned down on the job and killed.
How will the SIU function without Major? It doesn’t have to. As an ‘asset’ considered too valuable to lose, Major’s body is fast-tracked into an experimental Artifical Intelligence project to bring him back from the dead. The only problem is, Major 2.0 may look like and sound like the original, but something has been lost in translation – quite a lot actually.
His arrogant demeanour and gung-ho approach remain but his crimefighting instincts have completely deserted him. Somehow, Major’s error-strewn hunches and Carver’s scrambling to make good allows them to just about scrape by.
But while the experiment might be hailed as a success, on the front line Roy Carver is left dealing with an increasingly deluded partner.
The comedy series, which was created by Daniel Peak, stars Daniel Mays (Line Of Duty) and Stephen Graham (Boardwalk Empire).

Might give it a go, mainly because of the cast. I see Anna Maxwell Martin is also in it (at least ep.1).

I've watched it all (6 short episodes) and enjoyed it. Plenty of scope for further series.
