5.0 out of 5 stars Love John Hannah, August 20, 2008

This review is from: New Street Law - The Complete First Season (DVD)

I'm always looking for good BBC series and this is one of them. I usually prefer crime mysteries but gave this a try and found it well worth it. I admit to being a little bias when it come to Hannah and if you like his style, you'll find it here. I bought both series and enjoyed them both.

The first series aired in May and June 2006 in a pre-watershed timeslot on BBC One --- The second series was moved to 9 p.m. Low ratings saw the last two episodes moved to a 10.40 p.m. timeslot --- In July 2007, the cancellation of the series was announced --- This left an unresolved cliffhanger from the second series, with the audience left unaware of whether Jack survived a car crash.

Great job by Koch Vision --- looking forward to more high quality titles from the BBC Collection film market --- order your copy now from Amazon or Koch Vision where there are plenty of copies available on DVD, stay tuned once again for top notch releases --- where they are experts in releasing long forgotten films and treasures to the collector.

3.0 out of 5 stars New Street Law, September 30, 2008

This review is from: New Street Law - The Complete First Season (DVD)

New Street Law - This show in both its first and second season is well acted and suitably ambivalent in its attitude to the way in which the law is handled in "the city". Whilst not seemingly adopting full ethical standards at law (though not so absolute in its rejection thereof as in "Shark") the show is wholly entertaining save that it truly does not take hold until the end of the third episode of the first season. I would recommend this series as quite entertaining but, at first, not quite griping until after the third episode as aforesaid.
