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.
score 10/10
