The Last Detective (2003–2007)
7/10
Enjoyable murder mysteries
15 July 2024
I've been on a kick to watch UK mystery series that last over an hour per episode. I feel like there's more depth to these kinds of longer mystery series and i get to know the characters better. Oftentimes these mysteries are a little more complicated and a little more challenging to guess right. That's not always the case (talk about disappointment with The Inspector Lynley series - almost always know who dunnit within the first few minutes), but oftentimes I'm not sure when watching The Last Detective. Much more enjoyable and engaging when I don't know.

I like Dangerous the detective. So why in the heck did they make his best friend, Mod, such an annoying know-it-all jerk? Mod oftentimes walks all over Dangerous. I just watched the episode where Dangerous is teaching Mod how to drive a car using his own car. Mod is terrible. Of course Dangerous leaves him in the car while he talks to a witness. Then we see Mod a few min later talking the car for a rough spin on a racetrack - complete with tires squealing, flying over bumps, and skidding through puddles. If I was Dangerous I would've slapped the heck out of Mod. Mod is oblivious to how and when he hurts others. Ugh!

And then there's Dangerous's on/off again maybe ex-wife. She's a rather sour selfish gal and takes advantage of Mod's undying love for her.

I guess, as I write this, I like watching Dangerous solve the murders while navigating the shark-infested waters at work. I just wish his close relationships were dumped and then the dog could be Dangerous' only sidekick.
