Editorial Reviews

"The long-running Glasgow crime series hooks you every time." - Daily Record

"Gritty and realistic..." - The Daily Mail

"Taggart has always been a... winner" - Guardian Unlimited

Detective Chief Inspector Jim Taggart is a tough, sarcastic copper who has come up the hard way in the Maryhill Police Department. When he’s out to solve a murder, he uses whatever means he must to catch the killer – and he never gives up the chase. Set in Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow’s often mean, gritty streets are witness to many gruesome and inflammatory crimes. With its grisly details and complex plots, you will witness why Taggart has become the longest running police detective drama on British television.

Includes:

Love Knot - Taggart finds himself in the Scottish Highlands after a woman’s body is dredged from the River Clyde with her face deliberately disfigured and her hands bound by climbing rope.

Hostile Witness - When members of the Referendum for the Return of Capital Punishment party are killed, Taggart is pressed for a quick solution to the crime.

Evil Eye - A fortune-telling gypsy is found murdered in her caravan and Taggart suspects a connection with a London jewel store heist in which a policeman was slain.

4.0 out of 5 stars declining plot quality, November 17, 2006

By 

it (Sunnyvale, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Taggart: Evil Eye Set (DVD)

The plots on these three episodes are not as good as in the previous twelve ones. In fact the second and third episodes might not be considered by some to have a plot. There are sequences of crimes that are only remotely connected.

If you hang in there, the plots get better in later episodes.

I suggest that you buy these just to encourage the copyright owner to bring out the next set, but throw it away without watching it so you do not get your intelligence insulted. I try to force myself to view these three episodes but end up fast forwarding through them they are so terrible.
