Product Description
Wire in the Blood: The Complete Second Season Extraordinary understanding of the criminal mind enables clinical psychologist Dr. Tony Hill (Robson Green) to empathize with both victim and murderer. Working with Carol Jordan of the Bradfield Police (Hermione Norris), Dr. Hill profiles and tracks down vicious killers in northern England. DISC 1 - STILL SHE CRIES When Dr. Hill enlists a female student in the reopened investigation of a serial killer, more than his judgment is called into question. DISC 2 - THE DARKNESS OF LIGHT Current murder victims found beneath ancient remains lead Dr. Hill to the supernatural conclusion that the same murderer is at work. DISC 3 - RIGHT TO SILENCE Two brutal murders point to a notorious gang boss who is in prison. Could he be orchestrating the killings from behind bars? DISC 4 - SHARP COMPASSION Someone is preying on Bradfield’s most vulnerable hospital patients. Emerging reason to suspect terrorism attracts the attention of MI5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Your brain will thank you, July 29, 2005

By	Scott E. Packard (Alhambra, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The second season is even more exciting and action-packed than the first season, especially the first DVD in this set, Still She Cries, where you get to see Dr. Hill's patient Maggie try to reconcile the haunted images of her victims by finding where she buried the bodies, Dr. Hill help DI Carol Jordan and the Bradfield police find their latest serial killer (very good bursts of analysis by Dr. Hill, very gripping. It feels as if Robson Green is now comfortable with playing Dr. Hill and is starting to live the part). There's the mind f*ck of one of Dr. Hill's post-graduates, and personally I think she should have really lost her lunch when DI Jordan told her who she'd been with.
The second, third, and fourth episodes are all as different from each other as the first season's were. Yes, there are a core group of actors but I don't feel as if I'm watching a "Crossing Jordan" sitcom. These all feel as if they are separate movies with full attention paid to script writing, location shoots, camera focus and background scenes, and sounds and soundtrack music. They don't drag out the latest high-tech gadget to solve a crime which is so common in the US (though I'm sure the crew are working their butts off behind the scenes to give me this wonderful series); Dr. Hill's analysis is the primary tool, and I'm kept glued to the screen watching and enjoying the pursuit and the twists each case takes. This is very high quality cinema that I hope will be come cult status. If you enjoy this you'd also enjoy Christopher Nolan's Memento starring Guy Pearse and Carrie-Anne Moss. Both involve your brain and your emotions in ways I'd thought the screen had long forgotten.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sickly Entertaining!!!, August 11, 2008

By	Dialyn Powers "Beacon of Light" (Gulf Shores Alabama United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The writers for this show must be psychopaths. I can't imagine coming up with these compelling twisted stories, but thank goodness for british TV, because they obviously have brilliant, though possibly, deranged, talents to do this for a living. Oh, great actors to bring it life, as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional show, May 27, 2008

By	J. Hook "Jules" (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just discovered this show a few months ago on BBC America. I'm totally hooked on Robson Green. I've just ordered Touching Evil as well. This is quality adult television.
