Dead - like living
The dead are like living. Series manufacturers are experimenting within the criminal genre
Again evening, and again, the huge mass of people is worthless - what to look today on a small screen so as not to run into another Urgant. Not so long ago, like that and swinging on his heels, people stood near their home libraries and whispered: “Well, to read ... Tonight ... There is absolutely nothing to read.” Therefore, The New Times is trying to at least slightly alleviate the problem of this choice every week. And there is nothing better to relax with brains than a normal scary British series. But not necessarily British.
"Abduction and ransom"/Kidnap & Ransom (2011–2012) 
The first parts of this mini-series are written by Patrick Harbinsson, co-author of Person of Interest, 24 and Law & Order. In the title role-Trevor Yves, he is also the head of the Projector Pictures production company, which made this series for the ITV channel. The topic is the everyday life of the London company for the liberation of hostages without the participation of the police. Dominic King is a professional in negotiations, but he, as often in such series, once pierces, and now the corpse of a hostage all the time in front of his eyes, preventing him from performing everyday work. The new business in Cape Town turns out to be even more ambush - and the abductors are also abducted. Three episodes in the season. The second season is the abduction of a group of tourists in India (lovers of Goa! Cautious there). It was written by Michael Crompton (he is the author of the Silent Witness series, which once laid the foundation for the new British police series), the director David Drury (“Ashes to Polar”-the series “Life on Mars”). The last series of the second season was aired in March 2012. The series has already appeared on DVD.
Silent Witness (2002–2012) 
The series goes to the BBC and continues the theme of the original series, which was published in 1996-2002. The film about the work of the forensic scientist from Sheffield Professor Helen Witwell. At first it was Professor Sam Ryan, but the heroine left the series along with the leading main role Amanda Barton. However, the rating figures were quite decent, they decided not to close the series halfway, so a new heroine appeared. The “silent witness” proposed a different reading of the British criminal drama to the viewer, from now on much less “cozy”. And certainly not a family-fingering type Midsomer Murders. The collections of data from the daily work of the English police are quite convenient for literary presentation, a little scenario work and a joke joke-the series does not end. He probably for the British public something like CSI-for the American one. From 2002 to April 2012, 96 episodes were released, so there is something to see.
"Field of Blood" 
BBC One mini-series, film adaptation of the 2005 writer Denise Main. 1982. The missing boy in the city of Glasgow. All on the ears. Including journalists of a local newspaper. True, the courier of the editorial office of Glasgow Daily News Paddy Mikhan is closest to the clue. She has her own story - she, of course, wants to become a real journalist, while the editor -in -chief (actor David Morissi from the BlackPool series) humiliates her in every possible way and tries to cool his hot head. Director - Devid Kane. Denise Maine is a writer from Glasgow, who wrote three books with Paddy Mikhan as the protagonist. “Blood Field” is the first in the trilogy. Denise is called the representative of Tartan Noir (Tartan - Scottish clan cage). She defended a diploma at the University of Stratzhade on Mental Deviations on Women-Brides. It was then that I decided to write criminal novels. In addition, she writes Hellblazer comics, and her two plays were put on a dramatic stage.
"Dead like me"/Dead Like Me (2003–2004) 
I wanted to amuse you with the American series "The Dead Like Me." Ellent Mat plays an eighteen -year -old loafer, which the mother still can’t outline in a big life and arrange for work. Because eighteen -year -olds - they are usually so disappointed and supercritically. And then they are not so, and this is not work for them. It all ended (OK - began) when the seat from the toilet of the Russian Space station "Mir" still killed it right on the street. Well, in general, then a normal work was selected further. In other roles - Laura Harris and Mandy Pantykin. The composer is Stewart Cowpland, whom everyone remembers more as the drummer of The Police. The series is nominated for EMMY in 2004, but I received nothing. Some viewers claim that the beginning of the series is much better than its continuation, but here everyone is for himself, isn't it? Meanwhile, Ellen Mat appeared on the big screen in 2012 in the film “Margarine Wars”/Margarine Wars.
What do you look?
Mikhail Shats, TV presenter: “In addition to the new Sherlock Holmes, I do not watch anything. This is a piece work, very cool. Of course, the reception is known-to transfer old heroes to modernity, but here is an excellent casting, an excellent directorial work, and everything looks very energetic, in the Gay-Ritchevsky. I’m not watching on TV, but on disks. ”
