If you like your murder mysteries uncensored this is the best one. Done very tastefully.
Very seldom will you find a British murder mystery TV series of this quality were "every single episode is great" not just OK, but great.
Even amongst the UK's best such as Prime suspect or A Touch of Frost. While undoubtedly there great TV series some movie episodes fall short of expectations. But not Wire in the Blood.
I watched all 6 seasons and 24 episodes. I rather enjoy dark, gruesome mysteries and Wire in the Blood isn't just that, it's also intense, VERY INTENSE! As well a graphic.
I read on the wikipedia page that the series was canceled because of it's high budget cost of about $1,250,000 per episode. Well.... watching this series you can really tell were all that money went. Each episode feels like your watching a multi-million dollar Hollywood production on TV. It is very fast pace tangled with multiple sub-plots everywhere.
Interesting that prior to this series, Robson Green started in "A Touch of Evil" that remarkably resembles Wire in the blood on a more "toned down" level. I suggest watching this one as well.
I specially find the first 3 seasons entertaining. I rather like the female co-star better than the one on the last 3 seasons. I felt the was more chemistry. In spite of that though the intensity of the series and plot lines don't die down. If anything they it gets even better with each episode.
Of any British TV series this is the one I hope is resurrected as too many things are left unresolved during the last episode. INTENSE! INTENSE! INTENSE!
