Rose and Maloney

I stumbled over this series by accident and gave it a chance ! It didn't let me down and I find it excellent and some really good acting which is true in most British detective series. The thing with British series they never go on very long but wow they are so good including "Rose and Maloney " I would recommend it to anyone that wants a good plot and great acting!

It appears that the entire writing and production staff left the series after the second season. Up to that point, the stories and the acting were above average. In series 3 it all fell apart. The character of Rose did a complete 180 as a personality, and the scripts were cliched drivel.

Because I'm running out of British crime shows. They need to make more crime shows! And I quite like this one, hence the 10 stars. Even season 3! I just wish they'd made more episodes.

But the thing I want to say above all is that I just watched the season 3 episodes about Harry Callahan and he's a very attractive and engaging chap! And I knew I'd seen that actor before, so I came here and found him! He was Alan Johnson on Peep Show! So, cheers!

It's a very good show, featuring the unbeatable Sarah Lancashirea and the great Phil Davis; which makes it overcome writing that, despite the premise, is NOT about law, and is thin on criminal plots. Should've gone on longer to develop, but understandable why it didn't.

I really enjoy this series. Between you and me, I have watched every British, American, Dutch, Norwegian, Irish, Scottish, German, Spanish, French, South American, and South African mystery, detective, police show available to mankind. I like the softer edge of this show. It's the partnership of two really great actor that makes the show successful.

I'm not sure why it was canceled. But, I for one wish for it to return. Of course, it's probably unrealistic to expect the same actors. It would work as an American show, though. Especially, during this time of extreme misjustice. Maybe it would nudge American officials to create a real Depertment of Criminal Justice Review.
