Best detective series now on air, 15 January 2002
Author: taylor9885 (taylor9885@sympatico.ca) from Ottawa, Canada

Oliver Reed once said his face looked like a garbage can. We can say of Warren Clarke that his face looks much like a battered old steel garbage can. His rugby playing days long over, Det. Supt. Andy Dalziel surveys the bleak Yorkshire landscape and the bleaker people inhabiting it with a jaundiced eye and biting sarcasm. He has to deal with a Bible-quoting superior officer who wants to weed out homosexuals on the police force; at the same time one of his men, who is gay, is going through emotional torments because of his infatuation with a delinquent youth. Dalziel has got to keep his team focused on a murder investigation, placate his superior, and stop any more murders in a very dysfunctional family.

This series has carried me through a dreary fall and early winter 2002. I must add that I haven't read any of the Reginald Hill novels on which this fine series is based.
