jcravens42 Review of Case Histories

Case Histories (2011–2013)

Good mix of drama, crime story & character study, all with an awesome soundtrack

Jackson Brodie is a very good detective and a not so great boss or father. Loves his daughter, obviously, but put so much into his work his marriage fell apart. Says yes to cases he should say no to. And is haunted by a childhood memory. I fell in love with this show when it was on Masterpiece, and have yet to find anyone who has seen it. Wonderfully atmospheric, stories you really don't know where they are going to go, and always with a song or two playing in the background or over the credits that's perfect for the moment, making you want to settle down in the dark with a whiskey and try to sort things out...
