In Deep

Loved this series. Wish I knew how to watch it on here?

Well the first episode of this new series has finished and i for one really enjoyed it. It puts a newish twist on cop dramas. The two leads Nick Berry [ Eastenders, Heartbeat ] and Stephen Tompkinson [ Drop the Dead Donkey, Ballykissangel ]have proven themselves elsewhere and seem to gel well. The stories ( this first one at least ) seem to have enough surprises to keep you guessing right to the end. Even though the BBC do seem to have an unfortunate habit of showing too much as a trailer for the second episode at the end of the first, and seem to re-cap 85% of the first at the start of the second.

In the first story Nick's character has to investigate his old Squad, which is now run by his Wife's best friend's husband who is also a close friend of his. "Garth" Tompkinsons character, gets involved with the lives of the Prostitutes he's using to try and get information on a Madame who is running them.

All stories mix and leads to a stage where almost everyone is under suspicion of something and your left guessing till the very end what the outcome will be.

Check this series out. It deserves to run for quite a while...which probably means it'll be cancelled after one season, as seems to be the norm these days for anything that dares to be innovative or different from the diet of soap operas and makeover shows that fill 80% of the schedules these days.

Wow what a brilliant series. 'In Deep' is a first class cop show. Here in Australia we have just found the DVD sets and bought them all. Far better than all the other cop shows around. The two stars Nick Berry & Stephen Tompkinson are excellent in their roles and the stories are quite complex. We couldn't stop watching them until we had seen them all. If you haven't seen them yet - then do so! You won't be disappointed. Great action, good actors, and good stories.I have seen 'The Professionals'(years ago) and loved it, BUT this is much better. I just wish there were more episodes to see. Series 1-3 so far! Great television. Each story is in 2 parts, which make for an 2 hour in-depth storyline. There are also some really good supporting actors in it too. Best show for years!!Well done BBC.

I have never liked cop shows. They do not appeal to me at all. I don't find the story of two cops, going undercover as bad guys to catch the real bad guy very gripping, but this show is different. it has two very likable main characters, who are played extremely well by Nick Berry and Stephen Thompkinson. The stories are constantly changing and the characters are always developing. It is funny, scary, thrilling and above all a really great show. The writers, directors and editors DO NOT NEED TO BE CHANGED AS OTHERS HAVE SAID, and the NICK and STEPHEN belong in their roles. it is one of the most enjoyable T.V show out at the minute and i definitely would watch the news to see the last part to it.!

Apparently other reviewers can't separate Nick Berry from his character in Heartbeat. If you can't do this either, I suggest you skip this show and go look up Harbour Lights instead for his sweetness and light. It doesn't help that his wife is very similar blonde actress to the one in Heartbeat. If you can separate the two this is a pretty good crime show. Not as good as Line of Duty which is bloody good, it's still a solid cop drama. Each story is told over two episodes. So they're more complex than the American one hour shows but shorter than Line of Duty's in depth 5-7 episodes. It's sad there's only 3 seasons.
