XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

peteraskush The last episode of an otherwise fantastic run was a total miss. Very politicized with, of course, the United States of America somewhere in the back of things pulling strings. A bit of creative writing would have made a much more impacting finale. Alas, this show panders to the trendy and political correctness, as if the audience is not able to recollect what happened throughout the series history.

mdbauer-98178 This show has to be, without a doubt, one of the best crime/drama shows ever written and portrayed by a cast of fantastic actors. It's set in the 60s. Even the filming gives it the vintage feel as they tackle crime(s) and some of the same social issues we experienced here in the United States during the same era. Even more, it is set in the days before DNA was even a forethought. They had to solve the crimes with intellect and reasoning. The show is set with an older, seasoned cop teamed with a younger, gung ho cop who is not afraid to take shortcuts as he learns the ropes of how crimes are really solved. There are times when you will love the younger cop and times you will want to give him a backhand. As with most British crime shows, their ability to keep you in the dark as to who the killer is is quite amazing. You can't go wrong with this show.

jij98111 I have watched several of the earlier episodes of this brilliant BBC detective series. It has it all: clever plots that are never quite what they seem to be, a dry "British" (I think it is universal) sense of subtle humor, two interesting leads who work perfectly together in their roles, topical plots (circa 1960's but still interesting) that are a cut above your normal plots and do not pull any punches, a quality sense of drama that packs a huge emotional punch (see Season 2 episode 1 'Gently with the innocents' and tell me you are not moved).I have watched many BBC series, detective and otherwise, sometimes with mixed results. This series is right up there at the top except for one big flaw. The writers, as many times happens, editorialize in their plots. If they removed the political correctness and stuck to good detective plots I would have added stars.

msellis5 I love British detective shows, and I get that most of them are dark, but this one is a black hole: it sucks any humanity into nonexistence. There is not one likable character:Bacchus is a jerk who goes into every situation with his mind made up. a terrible quality for a good detective. He bullies other cops and treats women like objects. I know understand the impetus for the 1960's women's movement. Inspector Gently isn't gentle, he's simply passive: he watches Bacchus' bullying and lecherous behavior and says next to nothing. I feel sorry for the 30 something actresses who are supposed to look into his 50 something world weary eyes and melt. i hope they get hazard pay.
