I foolishly didn't watch George Gently during its transmission as I didn't fancy it. I was terribly wrong.
This is a wonderful series, excellent from beginning to end. The stories are captivating, I always feel there is a sense of realism in some of them.
Some episodes make you feel genuinely uncomfortable, but they don't shy away from sensitive issues. My favourite episode will forever be Gently in The Cathedral, but so many are superb.
Incredible production values, exquisite cars and costumes, each episode is a visual feast.
Shaw and Ingleby are tremendous, always accompanied by great guest actors, so many good ones, I can't highlight one in particular.
What gives this show the edge over so many, is the dynamic between Gently and Bacchus, you get a little conflict in most shows, but nothing like you see here, at times they seem to actually detest one another's values and beliefs, Bacchus often has issue with his boss's moral sense.
We needed more. 9/10.
score 9/10
