Title: A BIG set!
Product review: A much bigger set of DVDs than it at first appears. One of ten best written 'mystery' series ever done for TV (or even film for that matter). Robson Green manages to bring the almost moody, silent Detective Creegan to life, an uncanny piece of acting in itself! Why the BBC never continued this series is beyond me! The only comparably written mystery series I am aware of is "Wallander" series (Henning Mankell), also a BBC video presentation. If you are into the, formulaic, cardboard characters of say, Agatha Christy STAY AWAY! This will ruin you for the 'standard' "Who-Dunnit" stuff full of snmelly 'red herrings'. THIS IS WRITING, CASTING, ACTING! It will positively Ruin you for the Maples, Peroit, and that ilk. Also not ti be missed is the "Waking the Dead" series- a forerunner of CSI that set That standard. WHY can't we in America have TV executives that are courageous (n the face of advertisers) enough to produce such work..... othet that what HBO does with the "Wire" series, etc.?
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
