Highly Overrated But Still Good

Excellent, a Must See

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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.

In the modern era of television, over the last ten or so years, there has been so little worth watching. The BBC still produces the odd rare gem, and this was one of them. A slightly wry look at the murder mystery with the stories told in a variety of narratives and a variety of perspectives from the straightforward to the outright wacky this is a wonderful little series that briefly shone for 3 series and left at just about the right time. The episodes are uniformly good.Especially notable is the episode "Contract" with Adam Faith in as a contract killer in one of his last TV roles with Jamie Theakston putting in a surprisingly good performance as a Yuppie Banker.

Having been a fan since the start of this series, it's always interesting to see who the next victim is. Those who are unaware, the actors / actresses of these 'Murder In Mind' shows are in fact famous TV Actors past and present.One show I remember in particular was Steve McFadden (Phil Mitchell is Eastenders) playing the Husband of a cheating Wife. He hired himself a guy (Keith Allen - comedian / 'Fat Les' front man) to kill her but with a twist that made himself the murderer. How? Well thats the cleverness of the story / plot. The 'hit man' had a name that when the letters were re-arrange, spelled out the Husband's actual name... and when confronted ... the hitman never existed. Cool or what? More to the point, it was nice seeing 'Rodney Trotter' playing a devious landlord. Shows the actors true potential and also shows they can cope with any role and be convincing. I certainly was, because I was gob smacked at the end. As I was after every Murder In Mind show.

Murder in Mind is an excellent drama that can be seen on BBCAmerica. If you enjoy shows like CSI or Law & Order, then Murder in Mind is for you. I have yet to see a comedic, dark or otherwise, episode. This is an excellent show, well-written and usually has a good twist. While watching BBCAmerica, be sure to check out _Waking The Dead_ as well.

I watched this program recently on BBC America television just because Kevin Whatley was listed in the guide. It was hilarious and I laughed and laughed at the (unexpected) dark humour of the story. It was the anguish of having unpleasant neighbors. It is told in a European style, as those who know the song by Ray Ventura and his Collegiens, "Tout va tres bien, Madame la Marquise"/"All goes very well, Madame la Marquise", understand and recognize. Kevin Whatley is great in his role, a new one for him, after the detective series,"Morse".
