Case Histories

It's a very sad and heartfelt story.

It would seem that the main character is a man, a former cop, and other people's tragedies are conveyed through him sincerely, gently and without vulgarity, with compassion, a drop of humor and a ray of hope.

The episodes are measured and unhurried, but all the scenes are necessary and filled with meaning, not fillers.

Jackson's warm and respectful relationship with his daughter and women is endearing.

The intertwining of the narrative with the losses and tragedies of the past and their impact on the present is conveyed very competently and a little melancholy - as something that can no longer be forgotten, but with which you can continue to live.

As usual, the British have the best police dramas.

Oh, this Jackson and his women)

A good pilot, Isaacs is very charismatic. I wonder what happened to baby Olivia.

Firstly, the main character knows where to go with the child (the crime scene is chic, but I laughed out loud at the dog's funeral), and secondly, I'm ready to watch the series even for the sake of Isaacs' naked torso.

It is logical that after a difficult dismissal from the police, a capable and experienced detective decides to engage in private investigations. However, for the financial success of this enterprise, only skills, efforts and even revealed secrets are not enough. But this turned out to be quite enough to cause serious problems.

Another series of the main character. Not bright, but very unusual. Dysfunctional, divorced, reviled by most former colleagues, cynical, realist and a veteran who has seen it, tough, but at the same time sympathetic and really empathetic and trying to help, literate, quick-witted and determined, with sad but witty humor, ambiguous, unsettled and, with all his vast experience, impractical but attractive. At the same time, he is a fabulous and realistic humanist altruist, often severely beaten, but a fighter for justice who quickly rises to his feet.

A good plot with complicated cases, dangers, twists and even "relationships" (very much in moderation). Good camera angles and wonderful views of Edinburgh, good staging, correct editing - unhurried, but also uncomplicated, the mood is perfectly conveyed in a slightly cloudy Scottish minor. The only thing I didn't like was that the creators went a little overboard with the main character's memories of a tragic incident in childhood. They play well, and the dialogues and characters are believably lively.

It turned out to be a good, restrained and atmospheric series, sad, but with an optimistic message and a positive hero, despite all sorts of misadventures and various sad circumstances.

Language. They speak naturally, sometimes it is difficult, some with a rather heavy accent. The main character spoke Yorkshire, often so indistinctly that it was harder to understand him than the locals. Subtitles, in my opinion, are mandatory.
