My Thoughts
London Kills is crime drama set in the most dangerous area of London. The show centers around DI David Bradford who is in charge of a murder unit. He took a break from work when his wife disappeared, but now he's back on the hunt and clashing with his new female colleague. This fist season includes five episodes:
The Dark - A strangle victim is found by construction workers. When his family has no idea he was missing the team suspects his roommates.
The Ultimate Price - A little boy finds his grandfather's body in a pub. He blames a man with a baseball bat, but Vivienne thinks there more to the story.
Family Affairs - An au pair dies shortly after being fired, and the team starts investigating David.
Turf Wars - A father and son are shot in the middle of day, and the police expect its gang related.
Captive - Rob gets a clue to where Sarah is, but his contact is killed. The team believe Sarah may still be alive and set out to find her.

This is an awesome series filled with complex crime and intriguing story lines. I really enjoyed the nail-biting suspense and the great cast. I can't wait to see what happens next season. You can crab the first series on DVD or Blu-ray at Acorn Media. You can it online at Amazon.
