One of the best ever

JimPearson

Undoubtedly one of the best ever in this genre; story lines are superb and the characters are realistic. Frost's difficulty relating to people is the key to many of the story lines and his relationship with Shirley Fisher sums up much of what is wrong with today's society. These stories can be viewed on many levels, but an empathy for the characters and the situations adds a whole lot to the enjoyment of the series. Jack Frost himself is a sad character, one for whom one feels considerably. David Jason is excellent as the main character - so different from any other series he has started in. It is almost impossible to believe that he was starring in this series at the same time as "The Darling Buds of May". Definitely a "must watch", even for those who do not normally enjoy police dramas.
