I have always been a fan of crime television. There is something about a good murder mystery that really gets your adrenaline pumping. When the show in question also features a strong cast and a team leader with a heart, its even better. With the amazing series Case Histories on DVD, you will be getting more than 300 minutes of back to back action that will leave you at the edge of your seat. Just sit back and enjoy British drama at its best. I had never seen Case Histories before getting this DVD set to review, but let me tell you, once I got it I was so enthralled I watched the complete set in only five days. Here is a little bit of info about the DVD set.
Edinburgh-based private investigator Jackson Brodie (Jason Isaacs, Harry Potter) tracks lost cats, wayward spouses, and killers on the run—and does a lot of running himself to escape the memories of his traumatic past. Based on the award-winning novels by Kate Atkinson. Also stars Amanda Abbington (Agatha Christie’s Poirot), Natasha Little (Vanity Fair), Phil Davis (Vera Drake), and Keith Allen (Robin Hood). Seen on Masterpiece Mystery! 6 episodes, 5 ¾ hrs (plus behind-the-scenes featurette).
Disc 1
Episode One: Case Histories, Part 1
Brodie gets a couple of new cases in quick succession. The first is for two sisters who want him to investigate the disappearance of their younger sister 30 years ago. The other case involves the distraught father of a murdered daughter.
Episode Two: Case Histories, Part 2
In addition to his hunt for a killer and a long-vanished young girl, Brodie takes on another missing-persons case. This time the absent youth is the niece of a woman he met in a bar, who secured his services through an unorthodox method.
Episode Three: One Good Turn, Part 1
On an early morning run along the coast, Brodie spots a woman’s body in the water but is unable to prevent it from floating out to sea. When the police appear less than enthusiastic about investigating, Brodie decides to do it himself.
Disc 2
Episode Four: One Good Turn, Part 2
Brodie has several questions to ponder: Why would a road rage attacker want to kill him and another bystander who witnessed the incident? What does the attacker have to do with a shady cleaning business? And how does it relate to the body Brodie saw in the sea?
Episode Five: When Will There Be Good News? Part 1
While investigating an apparently routine case of marital infidelity, Brodie falls into another job—tracking down a mother and her baby who, the husband claims, are staying with a relative.
Episode Six: When Will There Be Good News? Part 2
Brodie picks up a lead on the missing mother and child, and learns that the husband knows more than he has been willing to admit. Brodie also discovers why one of his clients has been so desperate to find his wife.
