Product Description
Amazon.com
It's hard to imagine a more put-upon cop than Detective Constable "Dangerous" Davies, who was given that nickname by mocking colleagues. But as played with heart and sly wit by Peter Davison, Dangerous has a knack for solving impossible crimes and piecing together connections where others have long since given up. The Last Detective is one of England's most popular crime series, and that's saying something in a country proud of its Marples and Poirots. And much of the series' pleasure comes from Davison's performance, as well as the series' clever writing and humor. This boxed set--featuring five full-length feature episodes and loads of extras--finds things looking up, ever so slightly, for Davies, whose long-suffering wife, Julie, has taken him back (though slacker pal Mod, the hilariously understated Sean Hughes, is still hanging about). In "Once Upon a Time on the Westway," Dangerous investigates a brazen diamond heist that takes place on the day a mob boss is released from prison. And this don has decided to tell all in a memoir being shopped around London--naming all sorts of names. The cast is fabulous, including The Who's Roger Daltrey as a limping consigliore reminiscent of Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects. The viewer is struck by how civilized even British crime is, as Dangerous takes mobsters out for a pint to chat them up about the crime. The respect that the bad guys have for Dangerous is just further proof that Davies' reputation, and watchability, are no fluke. Another round, boys. --A.T. Hurley
