COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Inspector Gentley submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on August 27, 2012, 11:56am In a fairly realistic portrayal of northeastern England in the 1960s, Detective George Gently of Scotland Yard has gotten himself assigned to a local police force, but the work is not nearly as easy as he expected. For one, he cannot understand the local "Geordie" accent and has to have a sergeant assigned to him to translate the local slang (viewers may recognize as the Knight Bus driver in one "Harry Potter" film).
The series shows the sexism, racism and other prejudices of the era, as well as the police corruption and unhappiness it all brought.

The Burning Man submitted by willow on August 25, 2015, 9:02pm After finding a burnt body in a field, Inspector Gently tries to figure out who the victim was and why he was killed, finding himself involved with issues of national security and the IRA.

It's a detective show about homicide investigation; there is blood shown.
