Shetland

I agree, mcem. If you've read the books, Dougie Henshall isn't an authentic Perez, though he is a fine actor. I have to confess that I prefer the books.

There I go again - sorry!

I did wonder why this chap with fading ginger hair was called Perez! He's very good in the part though.

The new series has started off well, loved it.

Love Dougie Henshall dont think I've ever seen him in something he wasn't good in .So pleased its back .

Ach Jane its Scotland I know lots of second generation Scots who are called Stewart or Hamish alongside their Asian or Chinese names .Makes life interesting

Not for me. Can see this is going to be one long, torturous and dragged-out programme that should have been cleared up in a couple of hours ‘like wot Vera does’.

I thought I had gone mad, who was this woman with all the locks on her door standing by a lit window? The episode I saw was about a Nigerian found in bits on the beach!! Then I looked at the dates of the post. Silly me.

Glad to have Shetland back, we enjoy the noir.

I enjoyed it, Jimmy Perez is quite dishy. I've just read the last book in this series which was excellent. Ann Cleeves doesn't think the Shetland setting can be taken any further, she is writing a new detective series which I await with interest.

Good to have it back once again, as usual it will keep us guessing until the end.

LullyDully not just me then

Ditto!

And another!

Thoroughly enjoyed the first episode.

So did I, but when the new series started they described ‘the stunning landscape’ or similar words. I find Shetland bleak. Are there any trees ? No offence to anyone who likes that sort of vista or is Scottish. I feel the same about the Falklands.

Another ditto here

NanKate I am Scottish and also find Shetland very bleak- so much so I would never visit there. I do not think the series is an advert for the next holiday.

That’s a relief that Iam not the only person who wouldn’t visit Shetland.
