Rebus

I have read the books but still prefer John Hannah in the lead role and the style of season 1. It became very average when Ken Stott (on paper a 'better' Rebus) got the part and the style of the show changed.

Loved it! I too grew up with the original and I was a staunch fan. But don't be put off by negative feedback, give it a go and make up your own mind. I'm hoping there'll be another season, cliffhangers are great! I thought the acting was great as you'd expect from the ensemble in this show. I love most things from the UL and this show didn't let me down, the opening scenes were very intense and I truly think Richard Rankin did the original Rebus proud. Opinions may differ, but I guess each to their own. The other cast members were well placed too. Don't miss out, it's worth watching as I said!

I recently saw a list of the top 10 crime series in the US and I have to say that none of them were anywhere near as good as British crime shows. I love the ability to tell a story without all the vulgarity and sex that seem to be the mainstay of the US shows which by the way are just getting worse and unwatchable. My only problem with Rebus is that he is portrayed s a disheveled individual who enjoys his beverages a little too much and yet women jump into bed with him. While he might have charm his personal hygiene is certainly lacking and deems him undesirable.

The date indicated for this series on Prime v Video is 2015. The correct date for this series is 2000 to 2004.

I loved this series. It started well and end even better unlike many others that seem to drag to a close. The actors, both John Hannah and Ken Stott did a great job. I never read the books, so have no problem with John Hannah being younger than in the books. In fact I found the John Hannah season to be a bit more appealing due to the serious nature of the episodes. The supporting cast also did their job.

Stories were well written and intriguing enough to keep you wanting more. I felt like it ended too soon. I read somewhere they were planning to restart, but haven't seen anything yet. Hope they do it.
