Twist in the wire

knotwilg

Crime series can be made by the actors, the director, the scenery, the music and so on, but they can be ruined by a poorly developed plot. "Wire in the blood" gets at best half marks. I've seen two of the six episodes and the four remaining will land in my video player by mere accident, I'm afraid. There are simply too many inconsistencies, too many unrealistic behaviour for this series to rank among "Morse" or "A touch of Frost". I bet professionals in crime investigation pull their hairs out upon seeing the numerous mistakes made. No I'm not going to list them, you may want to see it without spoilers anyway.

The acting crew try their very best and the shooting is nice - as far as I can tell - but they can't save the series either.
