ADULTS 5-star Content--COURSE CRIME--TOUGH COP--TENDER HEART
A strong stomach helps while viewing DCI Bain's final series. Mysteries bathed in blood, crime, grit, disgust, death, violence--but also with some rustic, rugged, Welch scenery, & touching father/daughter moments. Welch graphic crime thriller footage and engaging suspense, makes Bain (Philip Madoc--"The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes" "The Last of the Mohicans") is a crack police investigator, a widower, a father of a young girl, with the toughness of "Callan" (British thriller series). You may turn away at some of the blood and violence but never turn the set off. Who-what-how-when-where is too complex and draws the viewer to a must-find-out conclusion. His tenderness toward his daughter and the sometimes excess of episode murders resemble "Midsomer Murders" (a must hit series). Rough & gritty like "Murphy's Law".
"Contains nudity and graphic scenes" -true to the extreme! Specifically, "A MIND TO KILL SERIES 1" is abundant with violence, male and female nudity, blood, foul...
WONDERFUL WELSH INITIATION
This product is the first I've gotten involved with Wales as a setting, and has been a remarkable initiation into the Welsh language, etc. (Not to mention the lead detective's (Phili Madoc) performance.) Mr. Madoc's interpretation is, in and of itself, as titillating as the original stories that are so unique. I'd recommend to anyone who appreciates quality stories, plots, and acting to grab this at your earliest convenience. It's a shame that Mr. Madoc is no longer with us to provide more of this "goodie".
A mixed bag but enjoyable
The collection included three years of episodes. The first two were interesting but dark and small screen which were okay but not great. The third year was awesome, now showing in full screen, excellent photography and even a more interesting cast. If there are further episodes, I am in.
