BLUE MURDER SET 1-TV DVD REVIEW


This was an interesting take on a cop show with a female Detective Chief Inspector that has to juggle Police work, being a single mom, having to deal with her wayward husband and go against a system that do not like women in charge. That’s a handful! If you are a fan of British TV, you’ll be able to handle the accents, if not you might have a slightly tough time understanding some of the dialog. I have no problem with it. The show is not fast paced, more relying on character development. The show is a little graphic at times when they come to a crime scene, but other than that, well done. The set includes the first 6 episodes with cast filmographies.
