Twisted and gory, but I love Robson Green
I've been in love with Robson Green for years, and he's in top form here in "Wire in the Blood," a British TV series based on characters created by crime writer Val McDermid. It ran for six seasons and I believe had some specials along the way.Green plays Dr. Tony Hill, a clinical psychologist who works as a criminal profiler for the Bradfield police department. Tony gets into the minds of both killers and victims in his attempt to help DCI Carol Jordan (Hermoine Norris) and later, DI Alex Fielding (Simone Lahbib). The crimes are gruesome, violent, and sometimes hard to watch.
Nevertheless, this dark, atmospheric series is compelling and absorbing to watch. I can't understand one word that Simone Lahbib says, but I still enjoy the show. Robson Green, as the thoughtful, quirky Tony Hill, is marvelous.
I love British crime and TV shows - this is one of the best.
