ABOVE SUSPICION Complete Collection -
“Superb—the best UK police drama in years” (The Times) - Kelly Reilly (True Detective 2, Flight) and
Ciarán Hinds (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones) star as detectives in the complete series of the gripping crime drama from the
Prime Suspect creator, Lynda La Plante. Called a “younger, sassier successor to
Prime Suspect” (The Telegraph), the series ran on ITV for
four series from 2009-2012 but has not been broadcast in the U.S. (DVD
4-disc set). The entire series is also available to stream any time on
Acorn TV.
My Thoughts
Above Suspicion brings you a spine-tingling collection of murder mysteries. There are four mysteries in this collection based on the novels by Lynda La Plante, and each one is like getting to watch a full length movie. The story revolves around a rookie detective named Anna Travis and her hard-nosed boss James Langton. The two of them overcome their differences long enough to gang up on London criminals. The four episodes in this box set include:
Above Suspicion : Anna is sent on a undercover investigation to help catch a gruesome murderer, but will the carnage she finds be more than she can handle?
The Red Dahlia : This one was inspired by actual events. There was a killer known for cutting his victims in half. Now when the same type of murderer makes a reappearance, the detectives suspect a copycat.
Deadly Intent : An ex-cop is murdered in a crack house and his wife could be the next victim of the Mexican drug cartel.
Silent Scream : A celebrity is murdered and everyone around her is a suspect including her drug addict friends and scheming agent. There are a tons of guest stars in this episode.
I love this series. The mysteries were gripping and realistic. There is some nudity and a lot of graphic violence, so keep that in mind before you watch. However, if you like a good thriller, this is a series you'll want to watch. There is also at ton of bonus material including behind the scene segments and cast interviews. This box set gives you the opportunity to see a variety of great mysteries and a full cast of outstanding actors! It's a marathon worth seeing! If you'd like to pick up a copy of this DVD collection for your personal library, you can find it on Acorn Media for only $59.99. It's also available on Amazon.
