A superb series, but . . . BE WARNED . . . running time is only 210 minutes, NOT the 999 minutes indicated above.

A few years old now, but this series was a muscular outing for Mr Winstone, with able support from the lovely Suranne Jones and former East Ender Joe Absolom.
Vincent is a private detective taking on some unusual cases, with twists and turns along the way. Shame it didn't run to another series, but I imagine all that animation business for Beowulf must have impacted on Ray's availability somewhat..

Carrying on pretty much from where series 1 left off ,we have 4 more feature length episodes concerning the Manchester based detective agency ran by Vincent Gallagher(Ray Winstone).In the first Vincent ends up in prison while his cohorts(Suranne Jones,Ian Purleston-Davies,Angel Coulby and Joe Absolom) try to unravel the death of a hotel chambermaid,in the second a slick businessman has his family threatened while bedding Suranne Jones at the same time,the third has them turning the tables on a female fraudster with unexpected results and the 4th guest starring Amanda Redman is.... completely off with the fairies.
Even more laughable than series 1 which considering episode 1 had me going for at least an hour thinking this is better- slightly more realistic.intense and even faintly plausible - the whole episode then crashes in on it's self going for superior stateside grit and missing by about the width of the North Atlantic.Suranne Jones' character goes bed hopping with a suspect in 2 without any mental or physical foreplay let alone narrative logic,episode 3 is just unpleasant and the final one smacks of the last episode in series 1 with buckets of implausibility(we are asked to believe that Amanda Redman runs a multi million pound security business when quite frankly she looks like she'd have trouble finding the keys to her merc) mounted on a sea of obvious twist after obvious twist.
Suranne Jones and Purleston-Davies try their best but with writing this wretched - how the heck the agency pays for itself is just one of many questions that remain unanswered - they have no chance.
Put this together with Series 1 and ITV if only they knew it, have their own Fawlty Towers.
Quite what the the other reviewers were watching i have no idea- it wasn't Vincent for sure.
