5.0 out of 5 stars Just Cracking......, 30 May 2001
By A Customer
Robbie Coltrane - just how do you do it?

These two excellent episodes of Cracker just make that question even more difficult to answer. They focus not just on the crimes committed, but on Eddie "Fitz" Gerald turbulent private life. This consists of an unhappy wife, a bit on the side in the shape of colleague Jane Penhaligon, kids he does not understand..including one on the way, and a booze and gambling addiction.

"The Big Crunch" shows how normal people can be indoctrinated by people in power as it paints the picture of a ghastly murder committed within a religious sect.

Where are "Men Shall Weep" is probably the most emotional and gut-wrenching of the entire series. It focuses on rape - and gives an traumatic view, not only of the victims, but of the rapist himself. No woman will want to watch this episode alone...truly haunting and not easily forgotton. An excellent performance by Gerladine Somerville as Penhaligon.

Truly brilliant writing and a polished performance...just Cracking!!!
