    One of our favorites!

    I loved this series! The characters are multi-dimensional, the plots are always very suspenseful without being gruesome. I saw someone else say the show sometimes moved slow (although enjoyable) and I would say the pace is perfect because the viewer is allowed to think alongside DI Perez. The acting is superb. So is the cinematography. I am so looking forward to the next season as it's become a favorite in my household!

    FAQ20

    • How many seasons does Shetland have?Powered by Alexa
    • How is Duncan related to DI Perez's daughter? It is mentioned in the first episode "Red Bones" that Duncan left her when she was an infant. How is that possible when Perez and his wife are the parents? And who is Duncan's wife Mary?
    • Just started watching Series 4. LOVE this show but I would love to know how it is that D.I. Perez affords a new car every year. :D
    • Why don't we see DIs and policemen carrying guns in the series?
