Reviews should state both the good and the bad but there is nothing bad about this to include. I bought it because I missed it on TV and was reminded of it when the new series of Doctor Who began. There is something for everyone although maybe not small children as it is a 15. Murder, lies, comedy, romance and really good music. The characters are all 100% believable and you understand why each behaves as they do. Ripley Holden (David Morrissey) is the main character and may be described as a modern day tragic hero although we do not really like his way of life. The star of the show however is David Tennant who plays DI Peter Carlisle who has a slightly unorthodox approach to his job but who goes on his own emotional journey when he meets Ripley's wife, Natalie (Sarah Parish). The Holdens are the ultimate in disfunctional families but you can't help but love them. It is a drama but now and then the actors burst into classic songs but not as though the characters are singing as with conventional musicals but it is just that the songs convey and emotion better than it could be scripted. Weirdly it isn't weird that they do this. Siongs include Viva Las Vegas, Cupid, These Boots are Made for Walking, White Wedding, Should I Stay or Should I Go and many other famous anthems. I cannot rate this highly enough. I watched all 6 episodes in one night which is not like me but each one ended on such a cliff-hanger. Then I watched it a week later when someone I know wanted to see it and still loved it. They did too. Whatever you're into you should love this and I look forward to watching the episode 'Viva Blackpool' at the end of this week although without the lovely Tennant it can't be quite as good lol.Read full review
