DCI Banks
DCI Banks
A thrilling drama based on the novels by Peter Robinson. Stephen Tompkinson and Andrea Lowe star as the tenacious and stubborn Chief Inspector Alan Banks and the feisty and headstrong Detective Sergeant Annie Cabbot.

Brilliant acting, and most importantly: sympathetic characters with excellent interplay of relationships. Fundamental to crime series is convincing police work, and it seemed pretty authentic to me. No gimmicks; convincing police superiors for once, DCI Banks is not a bundle of laughs (compared to Barnaby & Troy for example), but then hunting vicious criminals every day isn't really very funny. Gripping, human stories, but often pretty gruesome, but which murder is not gruesome? I have seen most crime series, but this stands up with "Line of Duty", "Blue Murder", "Inspector Lynley", "Dalziel and Pascoe"
