With way too many shows and movies lined up on my to be watched list, I was drawn to this because it is a police procedural and because of Martin Clunes and Claudie Blakly. We found it extremely watchable and we made short work of both series in nearly binge fashion. The Clunes character did not suffer from that common police detective malady: half-stalking and throwing temper tantrums at an ex-wife, though he was a workaholic as many of them are, letting the family down due to spending so much time working on the big case. Both series did a great job showing the slow progress and missteps of a huge investigation working with too few clues and just enough dissension within the team to cause tension. There was one unresolved issue when a detail about a case was apparently leaked to the press. They never chased down the source of the leak, so perhaps there was enough on their plate as it was without adding another layer. As I mentioned, there was some tension on the investigative team, but there was good chemistry between team leader Clunes and Clive, Jo and Neville to spice up the dialogue with humor and sly observations. I hope they continue the series, whether or not the author of the memoirs writes a new book.
