"Pure dead brilliant... " - Daily Record

Detective Chief Inspector Jim Taggart (Mark McManus) 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Scottish, June 9, 2006

By 

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

This review is from: Taggart: Root of Evil Set (DVD)

This is the story of a 60 year old crusty police detective in Scotland. The characters are very distinctive. Unfortunately, after 35 episodes the actor playing Taggart died and some episodes later the medical examiner was played by a less distinctive actor and the series was less entertaining with the remaining characters who were about 30 years old and not as eccentric.

The plots are extremely complex and convoluted. You have to have good people skills at remembering names and faces to figure things out. There is no summary at the end like Poirot gives. Engineering nerds like myself have to view several times to get the details.
