Editorial Reviews

The complete second series of the BBC America mystery hit

Caroline Catz and Lisa Faulkner return as the cheeky police detectives Kate "Ash" Ashurst and Emma "Scribbs" Scribbins, still cracking wise as they crack six all-new cases in the tony British ’burb of Middleford. "Let me see," observes one of their adversaries. "You must be the blonde, dizzy, but at the same time practical, down-to-earth one." (That would be Scribbs.) "And you’re the dark, intense, ever-so-slightly neurotic one." (That would be Ash.) "Just one question—who does the jokes?" Actually, they both do, skewering middle-class mores while solving all manner of baffling mysteries. Their bemused boss (Jeremy Sheffield) keeps his charges under a loose rein—so long as their unorthodox style leads to closing cases.

Join Ash and Scribbs on their suburban beat, and see why their unique blend of humor and chutzpah has won legions of devoted mystery fans on both sides of the Atlantic.

The more we watched of this, the more entertained we were. We had just finished watching the Inspector Linley series, which is pretty intense and serious in comparison. It took us a while to adjust to a more humorous and not so intense a series. We wish there was more Murder in Suburbia!

Good series from across the pond... This is the 2nd season DVD of the British series which follows the cases of Detectives Kate Ashurst "Ash" and Emma Scribbins "Scribbs". Ash and Scribbs are a very good team and there is good interaction and humor between them and with their boss as they solve the crimes that come across their desks in the upper middle class town of Middleford. Each show captures your interest.

We watched some of the first programs and BBC then purchased Sets I and II and are greatly disappointed that they have been apparantly cancelled. The two main characters are wonderul foiles for each other as the appear as different as night and day, except for their impossible love lives that never work out. In the meantime, there is a hidden "romance" with the boss that creates some wonderful moments like the "timed" very long kiss on a stakeout or ranting about the boss' latest girlfriend who is not a girlfriend while he is listening. In the meantime there is a case to solve. The cases involve vivid portraits of the wayward ways of the rich in suburbia as well as the struggling middle class facing mundane problems like getting children into the right schools, blackmail, and murder. Lisa is a wonderful "blonde" who solves many cases in her own inexplicabe way. Highly recommnded. These are great entertainment.
