Justice?
This series started out with a Big Bang. By the time this series 22 came out, it has moved to a whimper.
Series 22 has two episodes, $4.99 an episode, not worth the money, in my opinion. When a jewelry robbery goes awry, the notorious Bilkin family is put on trial for murder. This is a long standing family with roots into crime, murder, thievery,and everything in-between. The series has some excellent actors, DCSI Michael Walker played by David Hayman, DCI Rosin Connor played by Victoria Smurfit, and DS David Satchell played by Dorian Lough. These are long standing actors who have played in every episode. They work well together, but only DCI Connor seems to have matured in her role. She is the sensible one, wanting to not cut any corners to solve the murders. DCSI Walker has run afoul of going the straight and narrow before, and he wants to rush to judgement putting everyone at risk. DS Satchell plays heavily in this series. He is the witness that bungles his part, but...
keeps your attention
The problem with this series is that I personally don't quite understand the professional environment and therefore the relations between colleagues. I find the personality quirks overdone and by the same token, the professional missteps are disquieting. Many of the stories leave me perplexed and a bit upset about policing and police organizations in general. On the other hand, as is the case for most British police series, you can't turn it off. The suspense is always gripping and it is so well filmed and acted that you keep watching, however much you may be dismayed by the violence or the reactions of the protagonists, Always interesting...
The best of the best
Very realistic . Nice tempo and continuity!
One of my favorite British mysteries.
Just love them! Hope they continue to produce this wonderful series.
