The Detectives: Fighting Organised Crime (2021–2023) User Reviews

One of the best documentary series I've ever watched

Follows the investigations of some of Manchester's (often referred to as Gunchester's) most notorious organised crime rings.

Was extremely sad to see BBC pull further episodes after only 2 episodes.

Brilliant. Suspense throughout.

Best crime series I've seen. Intense from the start, especially the second episode, which showed insight into a really interesting case, a well orchestrated gang devised a murder with both thought and precision. The police were faced with a difficult task of pin pointing those responsible, but it comes together like a jigsaw. Left me feeling stunned at the end, just with imagining the sheer gravity of what the lad at the top is now faced with, a long time in prison to question whether that day was truly worth it. Honestly, I maybe alone, but I did feel for him.

+ Why did BBC pull the other episodes???

Hard hitting and detailed

Really in depth assessment of cases invoking OCGs in Manchester. Not over dramatised - let's the story evolve and the investigation move forward. Certainly one of the best of this genre.

Gmp what a unit

Fabulous to watch the brilliant work of GMP cracking organised crime gangs. Being real and undramatised makes it so worth watching.
