Editorial Reviews
As seen on A&E
"The U.K.’s answer to our CSI" —Oklahoma Gazette "Well paced and intriguing” —London Evening Standard (U.K.)
"Intelligent, edgy, and gripping" —The Times (U.K.) "Smart…an understated, enjoyable drama" —London Evening Standard (U.K.)
Fans of CSI will be drawn to Murder Investigation Team, which authentically profiles the gritty realities faced by the Special Crimes Unit of London’s Metropolitan Police.
From the creators of The Bill, this critically acclaimed police thriller follows an intense team of investigators led by DC Rosie MacManus (Lindsey Coulson, EastEnders) and DS Trevor Hands (Michael McKell, Emmerdale Farm). The detectives rely on both new technology and old-fashioned instinct to find those responsible for gruesome crimes.
Love triangles, family estrangements, greed, and lies lead to a series of wrong turns and dead ends, building the pressure to solve cases while the evidence is still fresh—and, sometimes, before the killer can strike again. Along the way, the investigators struggle to walk the line between professional loyalties and personal interests. Claire Higgins (Hellraiser), Kenneth Cranham (Rome), and Anthony Stewart Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) guest star in these final episodes.

I'm so glad they decided to produce a 2nd series of this wonderful and engrossing drama series. Series two, in my opinion, has surpassed series one. It seems to contain superior scripts that blend perfectly with the superb acting. Here's hoping there's a series three.

I watch all the British series like this one, and thought season 1 had so many problems. Too many to go into, but the constant shaking camera trick was enough to make you seasick. Season 2 is totally different, including some of the cast. Now it is first rate. I'm sure that if this series was like season 2 in the beginning, it would have continued for many more years. Too bad they got it right too late, now I want more.

Realistic investigation struggles. Now cop stuff, plus personal issues with MIT racing to solve crime. It explodes with pace and intrigue making 4 thriller episodes filled with police action, raids, chases and arrest struggles. False leads, new suspects, and dead ends cause this team to dig in the London sewer fringe. DI Trevor (Michael McKell) is promoted to Gov while DS Rosie (Lindsey Coulson) is upgraded too. DS Purvis (Richard Hope) is the 3rd cop back. Other regulars are new to the series but keep the same velocity and thrill.
Bonus material confirms the series was shot with High-Def cameras and it matches the technology driven team assigned grisly crimes. Guest stars are included as both good and bad guys/girls. There is occasional sharp wit, but mostly sharper evidence considerations, at least with personal issues are not clouding the moment. That human side of MIT cops is a stronger focus, over Series 1. Office relationships and personal problems form side-plots that carry over from one episode to another. But each episode has its primary brutal death (graphic images) to solve.
Series 2 has four 70-minute episodes...a few guest stars are listed, only some.

1 PHONE TAG: Trevor and team look for an ice pick killer. This and all episodes are shot through with cop jargon. The murder seems to have association with stolen mobile phones and a sordid game of phone tag. Is the victim's father's kidney need a motive? New team player, DC Sharpe (Diane Parish) must prove her worth. Guest stars Kenneth Cranham (Without Motive) and Clare Higgins proves theirs.
2 VIPER'S NEST: Did a favorite doctor jump or get pushed off the hospital roof through a skylight of the canteen? Dr Masters (Anthony Head- The Invisibles) doesn't know, nor care, but does a fine job as guest star. Is there drug dealing afoot? A botched surgery? DCI Wishart (Meera Syal) pushes the team.
3 PROFESSIONAL: Pro footballer [soccer to Yanks] autopsy reveals death by blow to the head. Stalker hate mail and phone calls confirm victim was leaving as a "free transfer" [free agent to Yanks]. Was it an extreme fan attack? Team members struggle both personally and professionally-more than normal. Big Bad Mother-in-Law (Rebecca Lacey- The Bretts) and team manager (Tim Healy- The Grand) are suspect, as well as guest stars.
4 SEXUAL TENSION: A woman is gagged and strangled, yes more. Of course an ex-boyfriend is suspect. Then another similar killing. Copycat? Serial killer? CCTV and evidence points to a team member--not good for cop morale.
I liked the reality and the tension/action of the episodes forcing the viewer to literally join the Special Crime Unit's thought process. Even better than Series One.
