Acorn TV features the DVD debut of the outrageous police procedural NO OFFENCE, Series 2 on November 20, 2018. The female-driven police procedural follows an unorthodox team of cops in Manchester. From 9-time BAFTA Award nominated writer Paul Abbott (Shameless, State of Play, Cracker) comes an “exhilarating, ballsy, and…filthily funny” (The Independent) police comedy-drama with fierce female characters and a shrewd, irreverent take on crime. The critically-acclaimed dramedy stars Joanna Scanlan (Requiem, The Thick of It, Notes on a Scandal) and Irish Film & TV Academy Lead Drama Actress nominee Elaine Cassidy (Acceptable Risk, The Paradise, The Others). The DVD 2-Disc Set features 7 episodes ($49.99, Amazon.com). No Offence, Series 2 made its U.S. premiere in August 2018 on Acorn TV. Called a “glorious streaming service… an essential must-have” (The Hollywood Reporter), Acorn TV is North America's most popular streaming service focused on British and international television from RLJ Entertainment, Inc.
