Shetland (TV Series)
Synopsis: Created from the novels by Ann Cleeves (VERA), this BBC series follows Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez (Douglas Henshall) and his team as they investigate crime within the close knit island community. While a hauntingly beautiful landscape, the isolated and sometimes inhospitable environment means the team have to rely on a uniquely resourceful style of policing.
“The glowering mood of Nordic noir while remaining reassuringly home-grown.”~The Independent UK

5 stars (Exceptional) Outstanding. A densely-plotted policier in a beautiful landscape that will have you guessing to the last. Excellent acting by entire cast. An order-of-magnitude above the grubby American "action series" dominating TV today. Highly recommended. ~Sandy
3 stars (Good Enough) Thoroughly enjoyed this series. A good solid police drama based on the remote island of Shetland. A degree in Scottish would help, but other than that, it's excellent. ~Square Eyes
