About this show

A stylish, contemporary thriller series. The Cold Case team is a crack squad of police investigators who reopen unsolved murder cases, using new technology to re-examine evidence that hopefully will lead to the killer. They are at the cutting edge of modern police investigation, but they have been given just one year to prove their worth. Starring Trevor Eve and Sue Johnston.

Gutted there are only two series available on here! Another well written, well acted, and fantastically thought out offering from the BBC. Trevor Eve and Sue Johnston were the 2 that stayed from the start until the end, joined along the way with a whole bunch of great actors. Loved the puzzles, the fact the cases could be years old, old but connected to some recent case etc etc. Another one that has now finished though sadly. The BBC have had some great shows to be fair

I love these. As with all programmes they vary, the worst are good, the best fantastic. Two stars because of the overall package as supplied by Google. They are a lot cheaper on Amazon. Some are under a third of the Google price, none hit double figures. Come on Google, you are World's best search engine, check out the competition. I don't own all the series, maybe I'll buy the rest from you if you price match.

Good show, BUT... the full season is £21 (on sale I may add) and the price per episode is £1.99. There are 8 episodes, that makes £15.92 for the whole season. Get wise or get GOOGLED
