"I caught an episode of Wire in the Blood - Nocebo as a rerun on HBO. I am completely won over by this intricate crime drama. I would recommend this show to anyone tired and bored by the endless stream of mindless trival 'reality' shows to get into this program to challenge their mind and engage the active part of their brain. Cast was well chosen and act as though this is not a program but real crime drama. Not wooden but includes little pieces of their lives away from the crime scene. A must see program. Robson Green is a superb actor. Not too know it all but human to make mistakes and regret them. Excellent"

"Robson embellishes any movie he is in, regardless of the quality of the rest of it. I love having him to myself in TOUCHING EVIL, and WIRE IN THE BLOOD series. As another reviewer stated, he has perfected the role, ([bleeding heart psychiatrist]), who seems less afraid, but rather enchanted, with the illnesses of his patients. He empathizes with how they got the way they are instead of despising them for how they evolved from their molding circumstances. Without condescention, he faces the bad (the killer), and the good (the police and innocent victims), without judging either. That could make him appear apathetic, or stoic, but doesn't because of the way he has a grip on the role he plays (compassionate!). I have all of the captioned above and hope the rumors aren't true that this is the last of WIRE....But if it is, I'll be looking forward to whatever he does next!"

Robson green and great writing

"This show always is excellent, as far as british crime or mystery shows

goes this is one of the best ever made. The stories are well done and the acting is top notch with interesting twists in the realistic and brutal storylines. This show pulls no punches as it enters into the twisted minds of criminals and the profiler psychiatrist who helps out in a northern english city police force. The show looks like it is shot in Manchester but it is called by another name in the show. One episode is not on this disc the excellent 'prayer of the bone" which is on a seperate disc. Still crime shows don't get much better than this one on either side of the ocean. It's just a great show that never has had a less than well made episode. Unfortunately like all British shows you only get about five shows a year , but these are an hour and a half shows , still one could hope for at least 8 of these a year. The realism and depth of the main character Tony Hill as protrayed by the excellent Robson Green is well worth viewing because he just makes this role truly part of himself in everyway. I bet he went to crime scenes even in real life to research his role. But the writers too must be applauded for their way above average stories. Lets hope this show continues on for many years to come."

"Wire in the Blood is back in full force with an excellent season - great stories, well told & full of intrigue. The extras on Disc 1 are also worth watching as they provide some interesting insights into the entire series."
