Summary: Touching Evil
Review: This series reminds me so much of that other great British series, PRIME SUSPECT. It is classy, intricate and very entertaining. For anyone who enjoys thinking and very human police work rather than shootouts and car chases, get this one!

Summary: Best On TV
Review: This series rivals "Prime Suspect". The lead character is as complex and intriguing as Jane Tennison, and he has his own horde of demons he battles. Supporting characters are well developed but with better continuity. The stories are similar in that they often feature some of the most twisted criminal elements imaginable. I didn't think it got much better than Helen Mirren in a police role - Robson Green is her match.

Summary: dark and creepy
Review: Touching evil is dark and creepy genre at its creepiest. Robson Green is a cop who was shot in the head, died clinically and came back to this side. Maybe not so successfully either. Now he's assigned to an elite squad set up to work on tough cases that local police can't crack. Tough cases and lots of burnout take its toll on the team and personal lives. The first case (my favorite by the way) spins off threads that weave throughout the whole video. Nicola Walker does the tough cop beautifully, Robson Green is weak, strong, tough and confused all at the same while trying to put his life back together and Ian McDiarmid is incredibly cold and creepy as the suspect in the first case (told you it was my favorite) which I think is the strongest story too. I love dark, creepy psycho drama and this is right up there. Boy I used the word creepy enough,didn't I? Four cold hands up your back for this one.

Summary: An Americanised Prime Suspect
Review: While the direction, editing and cast are all super, this is series seems a bit exaggerated. The effect is fast-paced and dark. It isn't Britain's best, but it is good entertainment. One point of frustration is that the episode on the third tape makes references to an omitted episode, which I thought was the best of the first season.You'll enjoy it if you like a good police drama. The accents and vernacular should be easily understood--I think the script may have been written to omit words that wouldn't be understood by Americans.

Summary: Intense, Brooding, Chilling Mysteries
Review: Without doubt the Touching Evil series is, along with Prime Suspect, Wire in the Blood (also with Robson), one of the finest mysteries ever developed for television. Once again British television leaves its Stateside counterpart in the dust when it comes to creating a well-reasoned, educated yet infinitely watchable "who-done-it?"
Robson Green's Creegan has a intensity that is deeply affecting and eminently watchable. Just shy of being over-the-edge, Creegan is instantly likeable yet worrisome; like an old friend whom one is justifiably concerned about. Yet he's not so "out there" that we find it difficult to identify with him. Quite the opposite.
Nicola Walker is his perfect partner, D.I. Taylor. Like the best entertainment, Touching Evil isn't a one man show and while the major burden may fall to Robson, he is surrounded with a rich and varied supporting ensemble with a genuinely stand out performance from Shuan Dingwell as D.C. Rivers.
I'm glad to see Season 1 finally making it to DVD! Dare I wish for "Touching Evil IV?"
