Customer Reviews

This excellent series will grow on you

At first, I did not know what to make of the series. I had not read any of the books and only saw a glancing commercial. Therefore, I have been avoiding this series for quite some time. The music by Ray Russell is unique, so there is no good cubbyhole to place it. I am still not sure it is appropriate and will have to listen to Jon Hiseman's and Barbara Thompson's in the future. The environment is a tad morose; not just the first story, "Care and Protection," where DI Frost must care for his dying wife, but it carries over to the other episodes as well. So far, each episode has two parallel stories that may or may not be related. DI Jack Frost (David Jason, who played Pop Larkin in the series "The Darling Buds of May") is a devious, no-nonsense detective who will go a tad out of his way and that of the law to get to the truth and solve the case in unique ways. Of course, DI Frost has a standard self-preening nemesis, Supt. Mullett (Bruce Alexander) sometimes inspires Frost to accomplish his goal uniquely. We are not treated to a smorgasbord of blood and guts or dashcam auto chases. Although there may be a sprinkling of these, what makes the series is the interaction between the different characters, and a lot of times, just the expression on Frost's face. It only takes the first episode to get you hooked on the series. Yet instead of like a lot a series instead of fizzling out, it only gets better as they have a feel for what they are doing. I may give a little bit more details on the individual stories in the future, but for right now, I do not want to give away any of the details so that you may be surprised as this series unfolds. However, anybody who is a good guesser can probably figure out the mystery before the end of the story. Sort of like watching the old Colombo movies, the real thrill is waiting for that light bulb moment where DI Jack Frost has figured it out.
