    This one has it all.

    Kate Jennings, daughter of a wealthy businessman is kidnapped, The Police think they know who's taken her, Murphy is sent inside to infiltrate Richard Mooney, aka Electric Bill.

    I enjoyed the first episode, I loved this second one, this was the one thay got me hooked on this show back in the day.

    It's very fast moving, and has a definite tension running through it, that scene at the prison where things kick off, terrific.

    Imagine sharing a cell with Murphy, he'd drive you to moonshine.

    I can't explain how, what or why, but does this put you in mind of Luther at all, there are a few similarities.

    Kevin Doyle is really excellent as Mooney, I think his performance works so well, because he is quite literally cast against type, so often he's the unassuming, good guy, not here.

    9/10.
