DVD Description

The Blue Murder - Series 1 And 2 box set contains episodes from first two series of the detective drama, in which Caroline Quentin stars as DCI Janine Lewis--a mother of four children, who juggles the demands of family life with her high-profile job. Blending the gritty, fast pace of murder investigations with the warmth and chaos of family life, Blue Murder provides a fresh take on modern day policing in contemporary Manchester.

Other characters appearing in the show are DI Richard Mayne (Ian Kelsey), a self-assured and ambitious co-worker who is a close friend of Janine's; DCS Louise Hogg (Saskia Wickham), Janine's quiet but authoritative superior; DS Tony Shap (Nicolas Murchie), the street-wise copper who plays by his own rules; DS Ian Butchers (Paul Loughran), the diligent and reliable rival of Shap; and DC Lisa Goodall (Rhea Bailey), the quiet achiever who's looking to move up the ranks of the team.



Synopsis

Having returned to work after maternity leave, DCI Janine Lewis is striving to find a balance between the responsibilities of her high-pressure career and demands at home. Separated from her husband, Lewis attempts to bring up her four children alone, while at the same time dealing with the pressures of solving complicated murder cases.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brazilian fan, 22 Mar 2005
By M. Junho "movielover" (Sao Jose dos Campos, Sao Paulo Brazil) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well here in Brazil American movies monopolise the film
market so I had never seen as many British ones as I do now, you know. Little by little I was able to become familiar with the british actors and , to my surprise, incredibly hooked on their performances...
As to Caroline Quentin I love her tv series Jonathan Creek, so I decided to order Blue Murder and I loved it too ! It's a great
cop movie, the plot is really absorbing and the acting is so real that it makes us tuned up from the benning to the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars the "anti-hero" or "real life hero" takes center stage in gripping mysteries?, 29 May 2007
By Klaus van Amelrode "kmcva" - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Is that your idea of an hero? Middle aged, overweight, pregnant mother in the middle of a divorce with a crush on her second in command ... for sure not, but still it works perfectly as this is a real life hero everybody encounters and can relate too. Caroline Quentin portrait to perfection the life of many women of our generation. I have to admit that I alawys had been a fan of hers. So this a bit of a different mystery. But this is not social study but gripping crime stories in the best of British mystery tradition which will get you hooked in no time.

Highly enjoyable!

4.0 out of 5 stars good series, 22 May 2005
I've been a fan of Caroline Quentin for a while, and this series encorporates police crime investigation and the relationship between Caroline Quentin's character, her ex/husband and her second in command in the police. There are complex story lines, with good crimes going on while DCI Janine Lewis (Quentin) raises her kids with just the help of her live in child minder. Overall a great series, just wished they had made more.
