    Storyline

    Edit
    Created from the novels by award winning crime writer Ann Cleeves, Shetland follows DI Jimmy Perez and his team as they investigate crime within the close knit island community. In this isolated and sometimes inhospitable environment, the team have to rely on a uniquely resourceful style of policing. Set against a hauntingly beautiful landscape, Shetland is based on the best selling books such as Red Bones, Raven Black, Dead Water and Blue Lightning. —ahmetkozan

    • Trivia
      Despite the fact that the Shetland Islands are the most northerly place in the UK and can have very rain any month of the year, sprinklers were used to create fake rain in some of the scenes.

    One of our favorites!
    I loved this series! The characters are multi-dimensional, the plots are always very suspenseful without being gruesome. I saw someone else say the show sometimes moved slow (although enjoyable) and I would say the pace is perfect because the viewer is allowed to think alongside DI Perez. The acting is superb. So is the cinematography. I am so looking forward to the next season as it's become a favorite in my household!

    FAQ3

    • How is Duncan related to DI Perez's daughter? It is mentioned in the first episode "Red Bones" that Duncan left her when she was an infant. How is that possible when Perez and his wife are the parents? And who is Duncan's wife Mary?
    • Just started watching Series 4. LOVE this show but I would love to know how it is that D.I. Perez affords a new car every year. :D
    • Why don't we see DIs and policemen carrying guns in the series?
