This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

That was an excellent one.

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Finally got around to watching the first 7 seasons on Britbox here in the US. Love the cast and hope that the channel will have all the seasons at some point as I hated to let go of the characters. My only complaint was to do with the editing, which seemed to stick scenes together in an unrelated manner that was very confusing at times. The endings of a few of the episodes were also not very defined as there did not seem to be a proper explanation given throughout each episode as how it all fitted together! Left me wondering what the point of the story was. Even with its not so positive points, it's a great series to watch, especially if you know the Yorkshire area well.

There are many strong contenders (in particular "Frost" and "Foyle's War"), but having seen many British crime shows, I think this has to be the best overall. A wonderful cast (including the minor parts), realistic plots, magnificent and varied settings, and moments of deep drama and feeling, often tragic, even epic. And there's the humour, while Dalziel is a one-off, sublimely played by Clarke. I am watching the entire series for the second time and enjoying it even more than the first. A sublime TV achievement.

I am an avid fan of Reginald Hill's Dalziel and Pascoe series (I own all the books, most in hardback; I even know the correct way -- Andy's way, at least -- of pronouncing Dalziel..."Dee-al") and have been able to view a few -- a VERY few -- episodes of the British series here in the USA. But certainly not 12 seasons' worth -- even if they had only 2 or 3 episodes per season. And I can understand -- from comments made by contributors to IMDb -- that once they ran out of Hill's stories the writing very well may have suffered. But does anyone know if more ever will be broadcast in the USA; and whether the DVDs (in appropriate formatting for the USA) ever will be offered for sale here? Please...someone help me. I need a "DalzielandPascoe" fix!

I AM British AND READ THE BOOK 'THE LONG KILL' BY PATRICK RUELL, AKA REGINALD HILL (BBC TV SERIES 'DALZIEL AND PASCOE'} THE BOOK IS SET IN ENGLAND, AND I AM AMAZED THEY WOULD HAVE RELOCATED FOR THE MOVIE. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE MOVIE, AND THE 'DALZIEL AND PASCOE' SERIES THROUGH AMAZON, BUT NO LUCK. ANYONE OUT THERE ABLE TO SHARE? BBC also made "A Pinch of Snuff" from one of Reginald Hill's books, but he was not happy at the result, and it took a lot of wooing by BBC before he let them go ahead with the Dalziel & Pascoe series. The reviews I read on IMDb are very good, but I am not very computer-literate. Tried buying through Amazon but they do not list the titles. Can I buy from anywhere else? Many thanks for your help, Joy
