Featured review
Perhaps not the best episode so far.
DI Maguire is on the hunt for a gang, who are guilty of smuggling people and jewellery into the country, a fur coat could provide the lead he's been searching for.
I once again feel that this series got better with time, I think the later episodes feel a bit sharper, dare I say a bit more professional, some of these earlier ones are a little raw.
Interesting enough, people snuggling is a particularly hot topic in The UK right now, so there is definitely some relevance.
I thought the acting was something of a mixed bag, some good, some quite average, Robert Beatty was great value as always.
On the plus side, the shots at the end looked great, very nice, authentic footage, sadly the fight scene didn't look too convincing.
Average I'd say at best, 5/10.
