Der Jäger - Geld oder Leben

Dominic King is sent in to dangerous situations, when only the best hostage negotiator will do.

This is a series that grows on you, I spend the whole of the first episode moaning about how Waking the Dead had been axed, and how Trevor Eve was being wasted in this show, by episode two, I had forgotten that, and become engrossed in the story.

It's perhaps a little guilty of being a one trick pony in parts, they seem to force the kidnap and ransom scenario into the plot a few times, but it helps keep the show interesting.

Three episodes per series is about right, it allows it to progress at a nice pace, it looks great, the location work is superb, it's superbly acted, and gives you lots of twists and turns.

I'm glad they didn't try and run it for too long, the format is very limited, but both series are worth watching. 7/10.
