5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 4 Mar 2008
I don't know nothing about the finer points of movie making. But, honestly, having seen the whole thing (John Hannah and Ken Stott) and having read all the books, I do not understand why this excellent series is that much underrated by some of the earlier reviews. It was them that made me wait so long before I eventually ordered the dvds: curiosity got the better of me.
Surely, John Hannah was a wonderful Rebus and - being a bit younger - also the better looking actor.
But Ken Stott's Rebus simply is superb. The same thing goes for Claire Price's Siobhan Clark. Masterly performing actors and a really good camera are the hallmarks of this production. What really convinced me was the superior way of condensing the many tiers of Ian Rankin's story into a simple but very gripping tale of crime in the city. It's politcal but in no way politically correct. It's entertaining but never cheap. It's done with heart and soul. It's something new and makes you wonder about all these countryside based crime stories that are offered in great quantities. Just watch Mr. Ranking talking about it.
But of course, if you're looking for one to one copies of the stories, you may be disappointed. These are not copies but really smashing renderings of first rate crime fiction.
Enjoy it. I did.

The price is convincing too.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Rebus, 31 Mar 2008
By Jeffrey S. Ryan (Breckenridge, Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I also have the John Hannah episodes, but Ken Stott and Claire Price are more the characters that I envisioned when reading the books. If you love Rankin's work, these are outstanding. And the most recently released 4-disc set seem to have tried to remain truer to the books.

I can watch these over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Right withThe Real Rebus, 1 Jul 2008
By Mr. D. Imrie "Davie IMRIE" (MONIFIETH, Angus.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Real Rebus - an earlier review
By Jeffrey S. Ryan (Breckenridge, Colorado, USA).

I fully agree with you. On hearing that the books were to be brought to Television my immediate vision was of Ken Stott, having seen him act so perfectly his role in Messiah 1 & 2 most notably, and in other crime/thriller/police works. In fact as I read my way through Ian Rankin's books it was Ken Stott I too envisioned. Although I did toy with the idea of actor
being "The Real Rebus", as often it was his face I saw. Again he has acted many Senior Police Offficer Roles, enjoying his cigarettes and his booze in these other dramas, which would definately have given him a good start for John Rebus's character.For me, one person who wasn't the Real Rebus, sadly, was John Hannah. I respect him very much as an actor and enjoy his work in many roles, and I think to give him due respect his body,and language were very well suited to the other John, but he was too Young and good looking - just a laddie. To repeat myself, I believe he played the role as could not be bettered but his God-given features did not gel with his namesake.
With regard to the two, again, female actors who played "Shiv", both young ladies, matched my picture of parts of her, but an amalgamation of the looks and build of "shiv #1" and the University Educated type from England, for one thing, can't be ignored and so "Shiv #2" definately matched with some of the descriptions and glimpses, given to us. And so I leave it to another Ian Rankin fan to name the one (or more) "Shure Shiv".

Rebus is a series that is fun to watch again and again. I like Edinburgh, so the setting is interesting, and the fine interplay between characters can stand repitition. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not well told
Although Ken Stott is a good if sanitized Rebus, the show doesn't really take off. Format might be an issue here as 70 minutes is a fairly short period to tell a complex story. Read more
