The various murder cases keep you guessing as to who did it. Main actors do a great job in portraying their characters. Some of scene shots are amazing and the views are sometimes pretty awesome. The dialect is a bit hard to understand so you have to concentrate hard to hear what they are saying.

The stories are good, the main character (Jimmy Perez) is a likable guy, and the location is beautiful. Unfortunately these American ears could not decipher much of the dialogue. Jimmy's associate, a woman who looks ready to burst into tears at any moment, has such a thick accent I could not understand a word she said. I was engaged enough to watch all of Seasons 1 and 2, but will not be watching season 3 if there is one.

Interesting story lines and excellent acting. Love these British made detective series. Dialog a bit hard to understand at first.

Up front . . . the video series differs significantly from the books. Both are enjoyable though. I would recommend watching the videos first (the scenery is breathtaking), THEN reading the books in chronological order.

Great TV Series. Production is awesome and Det. Jimmy Perez (Henshall) is a bright and his techniques for investigating are a mixture of intelligence and his own personality. He knows how to control his emotions and gets the job done! I love the fact that filming takes place in Scotland and Shetland. Love the accent too..it immerses me in the characters. I started watching it in Netflix (only has 2 seasons) and ended up buying Seasons 1-5, because I cannot wait until Netflix decides to update the series. Watch it, u won't be disappointed!!

While a Scottish accent may be hard for some Americans, so can a Liverpudlian accent may be so much 'thicker?' anyway, if you canna make out what the gie mon is saying , put the CC on for a bit until you git it ye clot heid ! Mayhap it's just that while I happen to be an American, having had a father that spoke his Grandmother's tongue probably helped. Now to the storey, this is truly a wonderful detective show, I watch many from the Scotland, England and Wales and would truly list this one as one on my Top Ten List. I can't wait for more, have seen all 3 seasons on Netflix and am considering buying the DVD's so what does that tell you. And as an avid reader, would gladly read the books. One always has to reason that there will be a bit of a difference between the two and the most successful are those that don't drift too much from each other. If you like Hinterland, Midsommer Murder, Vera, Endeavour, Grantchester, and Wallander then you will most likely enjoy this series very well. Read full review

Fantastic Series! Better than Midsomer Murders and all other BBC/English Mysteries! Each one is a series that continues for the season and it resolves at the last episode of the season! We loved all 3 seasons and can't wait to buy the 4th one that is just coming out this month -July 2018!
