What I Watched -- Touching Evil, Series 1

Touching Evil is a British television series which ran from 1997 to 1999. I heard about it recently - read a good review - and thought I should check it out. It's a serial crime drama about a cop working in an elite investigations division, solving crimes and trying to beat the clock.

Sounds like any other crime-solvers series? It is a bit like other ones. But that doesn't make it not good. Well acted, compelling stories. What makes it different is that the episodes that are not (based on the ones I've seen) always emotionally satisfying. Sometimes the bad guy doesn't get it the way you think he should. Sometimes the personal lives of the good guys get mixed up in the mess. And somehow, this seems quite appropriate for a rainy gray British crime show.

Oh, and the lead actor is pretty darn cute.
