DVD Description
This exciting, fast-paced drama series stars Ray Winstone as Vincent Gallagher, head of a team of private investigators who are the last resort for troubled people with nowhere left to turn. Vincent is a former policeman, who often forgets he's running a business and not a crusade. Passionate, headstrong and tough--at least on the outside, he's a workaholic who always goes the extra mile for his clients, but often finds their crises are uncannily close to what's going on in his own life. Also starring Suranne Jones (Scott & Bailey).

When it comes to portraying the gritty reality of the 'other side of the street' the British leave the Americans in the dust!
No high tech palaver or cute one liners given by people who have just walked off a catwalk at a modelling show. Vincent is about real people in real life situations. The series is as much about Vincent as the situation in each episode. The suporting cast round off the quality of this itv production.
Ray Winstone is superb as the lonely PI, dedicated to doing the right thing by his clients, never letting his staff down while desperately trying to get a life. Hard as nails on the outside but soft marshmallow on the inside.
Worth every penny and now at a bargain basement price.

I never saw this series when it was on TV and ordered it on the basis of the other reviews. I am so glad I did. The acting is excellent with realistic captivating stories. I watched all the episodes back to back as I thought it was so good. This is real value for money.

Ray Winstone is an absolute gem in this role. I have never really been a big fan of his but now I am sold. The beautifully crafted acting from all the players sets the tone for this series. Gritty, disturbing to watch and emotionally raw in some scenes I was absolutely hooked from the first episode, so much so that I purchased from England the Series 1 & 2 Box set because the second series has yet to screen here in New Zealand. Please let there be a third as I am anxiously waiting to see the future development of all the characters involved.

Disappointing ...
I bought the 2-series box set on the basis of the fantastic reviews here but have found it very disappointing. Some of the storylines are so predictable and rubbishy. Read more

Not bad at all
The main character is almost a cartoon character Cockney, but this was very watchable and well worth a tenner. Read more

Vincent
I was surprised to find Ray Winstone in such a laid back role, good viewing, easy viewing, but enjoy more of a 'bite' to my crime series

Timeless excellence
It is now some time since these few episodes were made and released in the UK. They show how good TV drama CAN be as opposed to so much of the so called "entertainment" churned out... Read more
