Most helpful review The Ghost Squad

  • Amazingly well crafted - a hidden gem

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Simon Huggins from London, England , 30 Mar 2006

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Just finished watching an episode, and was really blown away. I'm a bit ambivalent towards police dramas these days. But this is a great mix of 24-style camerawork, psychological drama, internal politics, and a really good grasp of emotional interplay and gameplay - seems to be written by blokes as well, which I found surprising - you look at similar BBC affairs in recent years, and they are remarkably two-dimensional.

    Here, you care about the core characters, because they care.

    Anyway, give it a try - if you like intelligently scripted, cat-and-mouse, but psychologically gripping and intellectually fulfilling drama, you can't go wrong here.

    I found it a bit disturbing that such a squad DID exist, but no longer does because it wasn't appreciated internally. That's sort of the point, surely. Still - only going by the tagline - sure the reality is as duplicitously complex as the series!

    Ive seen some few episode of this tv series and i find it very interesting. I find the lead character played superbly by Elaine Cassidy. Her talent and versatility in acting shone. Its just a pity that ITV did not extend more series despite a good review from the viewer.
