Description
The complete second series of the BBC America mystery hit Caroline Catz and Lisa Faulkner return as the cheeky police detectives Kate “Ash” Ashurst and Emma “Scribbs” Scribbins, still cracking wise as they crack six all-new cases in the tony British ’burb of Middleford. “Let me see,” observes one of their adversaries. “You must be the blonde, dizzy, but at the same time practical, down-to-earth one.” (That would be Scribbs.) “And you’re the dark, intense, ever-so-sligh… More >>

This is poor for a British Detective series. The acting is poor and while I own the set I could not watch them all. Avoid

I came across Murder in Suburbia while browsing in my local library because, while television at any given time is sadly lacking, it’s especially barren in the summer. What a pleasant surprise! My only regret is the apparently limited run of this series. I can’t remember the last time I sat back & actually watched a dvd without having to fill in the boring parts with flipping through a magazine. The characters work well together, not only the main characters, but supporting also. Writing well done also. It was wonderful to just relax and be entertained.

We watched some of the first programs and BBC then purchased Sets I and II and are greatly disappointed that they have been apparantly cancelled. The two main characters are wonderul foiles for each other as the appear as different as night and day, except for their impossible love lives that never work out. In the meantime, there is a hidden “romance” with the boss that creates some wonderful moments like the “timed” very long kiss on a stakeout or ranting about the boss’ latest girlfriend who is not a girlfriend while he is listening. In the meantime there is a case to solve. The cases involve vivid portraits of the wayward ways of the rich in suburbia as well as the struggling middle class facing mundane problems like getting children into the right schools, blackmail, and murder. Lisa is a wonderful “blonde” who solves many cases in her own inexplicabe way. Highly recommnded. These are great entertainment.

Not classy like BBC mysteries or something, but a lot of fun. Not too many chances for Americans to see regular suburban Brit neighborhoods–TV usually shows villages or the city. The mysteries are kind of slight, the fun is in the interactions of the two main characters who tend to be unlucky in love. The humor is everyday fun altho. there are some over the top characters (crazies) in most episodes. None of it is really believable, I’d be extremely worried if this were my police dept., but I found this set fun diversion when I wanted something light.
