The hero of the acclaimed Granada TV/A&E series, the hard-drinking and -gambling Dr. Eddie Fitzgerald, forensic psychologist for the Manchester, England, police department, is a hard guy to like, but a hard guy not to be utterly fascinated by. In this Cable Ace Award-winning episode (for best show, best director, and a much-deserved best actor), Fitz, played with immense assurance by Robbie Coltrane, is sucked into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a serial-killing young couple who proudly pattern themselves on Bonnie and Clyde and envision dying in the same glorious hail of bullets. Fitz's only hope is to separate them to try to diffuse the hold they have on one another--before more innocent people are slain. Time (and Fitz's own destructive personality) are not on his side, sending the stakes ever higher. Cracker is one series armchair detectives should not miss. --Anne Hurley
