Reviews

gailkowitz-54665 Loved it! Going to start on the books! Wish it were longer. Excellent cast, interesting stories!

salttoearth I really like the show except for I do not like the blonde chick she's always doing stuff and she gets away with it when she was telling the painter about the killings she would've been fired if it would've been anybody else but she just keeps on doing whatever she wants throughout the whole show which actually makes the show suck but she's in everybody else's but but that's OK give me a break if she would've been out of the show I would've given it 10 stars

kathebaud I have read ALL of Peter Robinson's DCI Banks books, was looking forward to seeing the series but oh, the disappointment. Where is his personality? The bad boy image and behaviour that had him carpeted at least once every episode. Where is the tension between him and Annie? I don't mean the aggression that is shown in this series, the sexual tension you get when old lovers have to work together. Where is the scenery, the moors, the rock walls that Gristhorpe made while talking to Alan? All great atmosphere and it's all gone. This DCI Banks is a wimp of a man, who overacts to the point where it's embarrassing. Why does he speak so slowly? It's disconcerting and distracting. And not a characteristic of Banks. That alone would be enough for me not to choose him for the part. And Annie is a would be ball-breaker who comes across as an unattractive, spiteful slapper. Did anyone actually read any of the books? This is what gave you the idea for the series, correct? SO why, HOW could you make such a complete mess of it?I wish I had not seen it at all.

nfbloch I've only watched two of the episodes so far but I won't be watching more. The characters are shallow, predictable, and unbelievable. I assumed that given the quality actors involved this would be an exciting new series, instead, it's like a rerun of every police/bad guy plot rolled into one.I mean seriously, a depressed midlife crisis Chief, an ambitious hard charging woman detective trying to make her mark, a superintendent who rants and raves but can't control them? And to top it off, no matter what the situation or how dangerous it gets, they never call for backup? Where have I seen this before...maybe in the last 100 detective shows on TV in the last ten years.
