4.0 out of 5 stars This is about the cases and characters not computer animated hype!, November 21, 2007

This review is from: Waking the Dead: The Complete Season Two (DVD)

Resolving cold cases through improved forensic techniques and psychological examination (in a gentler form than Cracker) makes this a series worth watching and relishing. No hype, no spinning guns, no blood splattering about, but honest footwork conducted by a dedicated team looking for answers. The cast is good enough that French and Saunders made a funny parody of it and was merciless on "Boyd" the Inspector of the team. Excellent cast even in some uneven scripts that are forgivable due to the total sensibility of the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars British Cold Case, February 20, 2008

This review is from: Waking the Dead: The Complete Season Two (DVD)

Season two of the British version of Cold Case with less music and more realistic detective work. The forensic specialists actually have to wear unattractive suits when investigating their cases. No cleavage shots and high heels here.

The character development is minimal, yet the characters are so rich and engaging because of the way they interact. Boyd is a unique detective, gruff and confident yet somehow likeable and not coming off as arrogant.

The only negative is the lack of extras. A documentary of the production and the actors would be very welcome. You only get the episodes and nothing else, but what enthralling episodes they are.

This makes the Closure and CSI kids stuff. The stories are a little heavy and gruesome but it is the best of its kind. I will there were more of them. This is the last one.

They also try to bring to justice the "Cold Cases. Very British.
