Overview
Touching Evil follows the exploits of the Organized and Serial Crime Unit (OSC). Maverick Detective Inspector Dave Creegan is the newest member of the unit, an elite, rapid-response crime squad. The OSC uses their diverse crime-fighting skills to bring justice to society. Along with his stalwart partner DI Susan Taylor, Creegan squares off against some of England's most dangerous criminals – a serial murderer of children, a killer intent on murdering hospital patients, and a cyber-criminal who lures young Web-surfers with a gothic fantasy game and manipulates them into committing violent crimes.

Found incorrect info?
There is intrigue, villains and suspense, but the plot is weak. And the stories themselves seem rather artificial, and the particulars, all sorts of details and details are completely unnatural. All the unconvincing psychiatric babble about the motives of serial killers, the inexplicable lack of professionalism of the elite police unit. The conclusions and actions of detectives are often devoid of basic common sense. However, not only detectives, most of the characters and actions are both formulaic and implausible, predictable and illogical.
They play with a little theatrical overdoing, in my opinion. Robson Green is good and powerful again, he turned out to be a great, bright hero - charismatic, active, with excellent intuition, caring and, at the same time, complex, worried and mentally unstable. A variety of murderers also did well. In some episodes, very famous actors performed remarkably well. It was not very smoothly installed and, in my opinion, unnecessarily dramatic and slow. There are "unnecessary" scenes and too long shots, passages and plans. The picture quality also leaves much to be desired.
It turned out to be a dark series with an oppressive atmosphere and depressing stories. No happy endings, the whole "happiness" is that nothing worse has happened. At the same time, it is a little drawn out and strained, not built up, far-fetched and slightly pretentious. I won't review it exactly, I'm not sure what was worth watching at all.
Language. They don't talk very much, I didn't notice heavy accents or slang, or an abundance of particularly complex vocabulary, but they don't always speak loudly and intelligibly enough. I recommend subtitles.
