filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

marshallbrown-43375 Another superb British police "procedural," with DCI George Bently (Martin Shaw)the eponymic self-effacing righteous cop bent on seeing justice done, not infrequently at the expense of poor or corrupt police work by others. With his less-righteous Detective Sergeant John Bacchus (Lee Ingleby), the pair play very well off of each other amid England's north end in the Newcastle and Durham areas -- great accents! -- where Gently moved after being fed up with corruption he saw at London Met... a storyline woven in and out throughout the series. Few are the episodes merely "catch the killer"; there usually is one or another social issue involved; as said, Gently is a moral cop.

mflflowers Love this series, these two actors work so well together, can't wait for a new season to come over here in the USA, Lee Ingleby cracks me up with his sarcastic quips that bounce so well off Martin Shaw, Well up to date series with brilliant stories, we used to enjoy looking forward to every Sunday waiting for this series, but now on Netflix we're able to watch all the seasons again, Great acting, great casting, love it

Dave Each episode of this crime series is far too long for the content within it. Some of the stories in this show are good, but the pace is painfully slow. The protagonist's droning voice is off-putting and he's not particularly likable either.

aceellaway2010 I only recently discovered this little unsung gem on PBS. I am English and am always attracted by British shows. This is a truly excellent series, the stories are always different and well thought out. The 90 minute time allows for more developments than those of 60 minutes shows which often lack details of characters and plot. It's interesting the way the 60's setting allows prejudices at that time to pop up and impact the stories. As a Gay man one scripting nugget I truly appreciated was when the younger detective voiced his homophobic opinions, Gently mildly pointed out that electroshock treatment could be considered, when the younger guy responded with that "it doesn't work, their still queer" Gently reproved with the witty response "I meant for you.'I have happily endorsed this show to many people, well worth anybody's time.
