Vincent

**Vincent* is an engaging, smart, and overall great show- it's really well-paced, well-acted, well-written. Ray Winston is great in the main role and the supporting characters are interesting and well-developed. Their relationships are also nuanced and rich except that the hints of romance now and then are not quite convincing. Each episode takes up a unique situation with occasional twists. It truly is Brit crime tv at its best. I wish someone would revive the show with the same high quality writing and the same team- it will probably have to be a different cast though- 8 episodes is not nearly enough.

Vincent is a typical ray Winston TV show and as always ray makes a fantastic role and makes the whole show.Vincent also does have a great supporting cast,all 8 Vincents have been brilliant witty and TV gold.Vincent is also ray's best role since the part he took in scum,ray is a fantastic British actor who is just made for this role of Vincent simply because he is a great witty actor who makes his role witty in almost every episode of Vincent and is very much worthy of his award

Vincent is well worth its award, Vincent is just TV gold and British tele at its very best

one of the best crime shows for years

My wife and I made it through all 8 episodes. We were disappointed because its rating suggested a pretty good series. The plots were mostly implausible and, in some cases, ridiculous. The idea that Vincent was a lady's man and could appeal to much younger and more attractive women just didn't work. In many episodes the PI team dealt with violent, unscrupulous criminals, but the team kept going with no police involvement. Also, it wasn't clear where the money to fund 5 people full-time was coming from. The series deserves a much lower rating. Don't waste your time on it.

This series really asks a lot of viewers. Most detective series border unbelievable but this one goes into the realm of completely implausible. The lead is a fat guy who is able to perform amazing physical tasks beating up bad guys etc. The plots are ridiculous and the narrative is done in a way where success is always guaranteed even if the way to solve the crimes are completely illogical. Events happen solely to ensure that the cases are all solved. No wonder it only lasted for two seasons. It could not have garnered good support or become a smash hit with viewers. The slot for this type of genre is crowded, this series was just not that good to survive in it!

I opened this account because I am sick to death as a British man listening to our cousins over the water and down under slating our shows, Ray Winstone along with the rest of this British cast are on top form, our cousins across the pond and down under (not all) bad mouth our shows however when they try to take off our shows such as shameless, the inbetereners life on mars to name a few they fail miserably, they use British actors in their big shows so how can they have the nerve to slate anything of this caliber, and as for the aussies what has been your contribution in the last thirty years ? Neighbours and home and away need I say more? Ray Winstone is at the top of his game in this show as are the cast and crew in my eyes this is British to at it's near best. I'll apologise for my bad grammar as I am dislexic however I do not say sorry for my outburst. To any American or Aussie ready to knock this show and any other show made here then I ask you to seriously think about your review before you post it
