Description:
A top cop dedicated to her job and devoted to her family.
On the job, Janine Lewis deals with drive-by executions, decomposed bodies, and abducted children. At home, she interviews nannies, schedules parent-teacher conferences, and bolts breakfast on the run. Such is the life of a Detective Chief Inspector on the Manchester police force who also happens to be a single mum raising four kids. Caroline Quentin (Jonathan Creek, Men Behaving Badly) brings sensitivity, passion, and wry humor to her role as a woman balancing the demands of a high-risk, high-profile profession with the need to nurture her high-maintenance family. Ian Kelsey (Casualty) co-stars as DI Richard Mayne, Janine's sexy second in command - a source of romantic and sometimes professional tension on their tight-knit team.
In four taut crime dramas, Blue Murder realistically depicts the everyday toils and triumphs of police work alongside the insistent tug of family life for a single mother.
DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE text interviews with stars Caroline Quentin and Ian Kelsey and cast filmographies.

The first season of Blue Murder was very good; the second season verges on great. It may not reach the brittle heights of Prime Suspect--the writing isn't as psychologically rich--but it's in the same weight class. DCI Janine Lewis (Caroline Quentin, Jonathan Creek) isn't a super-sleuth. She's a single mother with four kids, an uneasy relationship with her ex-husband, and sexual tension with her lead detective, Richard Mayne (tall and handsome Ian Kelsey). She runs her investigative team with brisk efficiency, while her home life tends towards chaos. She navigates the twisty plots of these four episodes not through lightning bursts of deduction, but by piecing evidence together bit by bit--and this diligence is wonderfully engaging. Seemingly simple events slowly unveil a more complex and troubling story: A drowned dog leads to identical twins and infidelity; a mean prank draws four men into murder and revenge; robbery, hit and run, and the killing of a cop are intricately connected. During the investigation of a missing child, Mayne starts a new relationship and Lewis starts to lose her cool reserve. Careful plotting, vivid dialogue, solid acting from all the regulars (particularly Paul Loughran and Nicholas Murchie as Lewis's detective sergeants), and consistently sharp turns from the guest cast make Blue Murder a must-see for any fan of American police procedurals like Law & Order or CSI. Who would have guessed, when Quentin was a supporting player on Men Behaving Badly, that she'd become such a superb dramatic actor? --Bret Fetzer

I love this series. The detective played by Carolyn Quentin is so human and funny and smart. I love how each episode gives us a glimpse of her challenging family life (single mother, 4 children!) and how she manages to balance that life with her career as a Detective Inspector. I love her 2nd in command, Ian Kelsey, and the wonderful sexual tension between the two. I live in hope they will ultimately get together for I have a suspicion they just might "make it."

"Blue Murder, Set 2,"a crime drama/police procedural, chronicles the doings of a Manchester-based contemporary female British detective who's both a top cop and a single mum to four. It was made by the British Independent Television (ITV), and is a ratings hit in the United Kingdom, but has not yet been broadcast here. It is, inevitably, reminiscent of Helen Mirren's "Prime Suspect," though the mysteries tend to be somewhat kinder and gentler.
In the lead role, DSI Janine Lewis, Caroline ... Read More

HIT AND RUN - Two crimes, two deaths, two lines come together in the course of the enquiry. The tricky intricacies of the two lines and how they get together is the core of the film. So you'll have to watch it to know. The first line is a hit and run with an officially reported stolen car But the hit and run was caused by the stress of the mission the driver was on. The second line is that of illegal immigration from Eastern Europe: girls who come to England to be nothing but whores and eventually barmaids, ... Read More

I love this lady. She is an excellent copper and is so different from Jane Tennison. I love her of course. This lady is married and has four children. She is tempted to have a cozy with her partner Richard. They never quite make it together. So she balances her family with her job and breakfast is a funny business. Good murder mysteries too.
