George Gently Series 1 2007


     Inspector George Gently works with his assistant DS John Bacchus to investigate crimes committed by the criminal underworld.  There are three cases in this series.  Gently Go Man:  A notorious gangster murders George’s wife in a hit-and-run car accident.  The Burning Man:  George is thinking about retirement but he attends the funeral of another murder victim and he delays retirement to take on the case.  George works with Special Branch officers to identify a badly burned body near an RAF base in 1964.  Bombers Moon:  The beaten body of a wealthy German businessman is discovered in the harbor.  
 
     The crimes in this series can be rough to view at times.  George needs to solve the crimes, keep Bacchus on the straight and narrow as they whittle down the suspects as quickly as possible.  Northumberland is the scene of the first case.  George knows who killed his wife but it may difficult to pin the crime on the right man?  This series has stood the test of time with 8 seasons from 2007 to 2017.  3* (This series is OK)
