I really loved this show. George Gently is a great, honorable, upstanding policeman with a strong moral compass. He's haunted by the murder of his beloved wife. He moves to a small town up north to get away from the corruption that's rampant in the department. There, he's partnered with John Bacchus, with a slightly less strong moral compass. I really wanted to like his partner and initially, I thought we'd see him as the young, brash, immature copper who'd learn from his mentor, Gently. Sometimes he did, but he never gelled with me and always just seemed like an immature man-child. Really liked the WPC Rachel Coles. Together the 3 meshed pretty well. I thought each show was very well done, with great mysteries of whodunit. It ended as I expected it to and I can't imagine any other way for them to wrap it all up.
score 9/10
