Loved it! Going to start on the books! Wish it were longer. Excellent cast, interesting stories!

I really enjoyed the character development in this series. Great actors and stories that are relevant to today's headlines. Thanks for a great binge series. I just hate it when it ends in only 5 seasons.

To be clear, I thoroughly enjoy British detective stories and I enjoy the DCI Banks series. I have the last four episodes of the final season to go. However, I keep waiting - and here comes the cliff hanger - for Banks and the writers to address the unresolved issue of relationships in the work place. Will my concern be alleviated in the last four episodes? If I were to guess, I'd say the answer is no.

I have seen the last 4 episodes and have been greatly disappointed. This is a good cast but I have not been entertained. DCI Banks is wandering around with the longest of long faces in a mid life crisis unsure whether he really even knows what he is doing anymore. Caroline Catz is acting like a 15 year old in her first day at a new school. This part of the story, Catz's problems fitting in , was over laboured. The plot has moved very slowly and unevenly. All very downbeat and depressing. But maybe that's just Yorkshire ? The action scenes were poorly done and in my opinion not really necessary in a police detective story if the plot is good. So nothing original on offer and not even on a par with the competition. Opportunity missed I would say.
