New Tricks: Season 1

I'm so pleased that not only did I get my favorite British show on DVD, but I grabbed the best price at WalMart.com. This series is a police procedural for cold cases. Nothing like the Cold Cases TV show here in the USA, though - this is much more entertaining and engrossing. One 90-minute episode flies by without commercials. While you feel the serious nature of the crimes committed and try to beat the detectives in solving the case, the show provides some comic relief with some great lighthearted bantering and pranks from the unit detectives. Very enjoyable writing and acting, especially at this price. Only series 1-2 are available so far, but in the UK they have released Series 5 already - so the US should follow soon. I'm American and love Law & Order and NYPD Blue, but please don't miss a realistic yet also funny policing/mystery/dramedy.
