Chief Inspector: The Beginning

Excellent and more than worthy of your time and all 10 stars. This is a prequel to the 1971 series titled Chief Inspector. As the original did, it blends historical facts and footage and weaves them into the daily lives and psyche of the characters to really get a feel of the times they were in.

Each episode deals with a new case, with some overlap regarding the ongoing issue of police and political corruption. There are several notable cameos, with the original Chief Inspector being the most poignant. There's some wiggle room for another season, but there weren't any glaring loose ends and the ending itself was bittersweet perfection.
