New Blood

Started off great then became more and more implausible with a ridiculous ending. Too bad - could have been good.

Excellent stories, quirky, believable characters, and political commentary that is subtle, not overbearing.

Ben Tavassoli and Mark Strepan are two up and coming actors to be watched. They are excellent as the young, fledgling investigators constantly getting into hazardous personal and professional predicaments.

The intertwining of Police and SFO investigations though contrived to fabricate the connected investigations are seamlessly intermingled with skillful screen writing and direction.

Overall, excellent acting, direction, and screen writing.

I have to say this new series is refreshingly different in the way in which it is filmed. Very quirky, fast, day to night scenes of London and the accompanying music was great. I also LOVE the opening song, Rag 'n Bone Man by Wolves. Gutsy, bluesy heavy, excellent choice. The two actors who take much of the lead, Mark Strepan and Ben Tavassoli are not only lovely to look at, they are also great at what they do and their developing relationship is at times funny and touching and at times serious and convincing. I love them! The first series focuses on a murder which happened in India some years previously. The two cops have to seek a way to work together to find out the connection between what happened in India and what has happened to several people, now dead in London in the present date. All is intricately bound up in a pharmaceutical war between two companies. I think it's a great series and I would not be surprised if it doesn't gather a young following, a bit like Being Human, it has the same unique feel about it. Well done BBC!

Eagerly waiting for S2 but have not heard anything? I found the show to be well acted, intelligent, good comedy moments, and it kept my attention.

where is Series 2 ???????????

This new series is totally different to many of the dour and depressing TV productions usually shown. With a visually stunning production (superb photography of London) and a marvellous score, it has two young leads - Ben Tavassoli and Mark Strepan - who are especially convincing in their parts whilst the talented Mark Addy and other wonderful character actors complete the excellent cast. Both Tavassoil and Strepan show great potential and I look forward to seeing them in future productions.

The stories are logical and relevant to today's world and show a quite different aspect to the usual cop drama.

I can understand why it would attract a young audience but we are already grandparents and thoroughly enjoyed it (on cable TV in the Middle East). I really hope that the BBC will consider continuing this series which has excellent potential.
