The six-part drama follows American cop Bill Hixon played by Hollywood actor Rob Lowe, being assigned to work for the ‘Lincolnshire East’ constabulary in Boston.

At one point during the trailer his character complains about being in Boston - calling it a ‘godforsaken cabbage patch’.

The fast-paced promo also shows Lowe chasing two men across a field in his car - before throwing cabbages at them as they flee on foot. Another clip from the trailer features a character stating ‘Boston’s got the highest murder rate in England’.
