For those who like the series
I noticed a 1 star review and wanted to counter it. Yes Waking the Dead is one of the premier TV series from the UK. It is thoughtful and intelligent. Series 8 and it final season 9 are excellent. I have seen the UK versions of it. The criticism is not the content or the series, but release schedule for a series that already completed. Come on. Finish the releases and the series. How come the US versions are delayed by years.
Dutch import - Shortened!
It's a pity, but this Dutch Pal import has all episodes shortened by approx 10 minutes. The cutting has been done "gently", but leaves some strange ellipses.
No subtitles other than Dutch ones.
Otherwise good quality.
Again, we bought an all region DVD player....
We will soon run out of this series and that is too bad. These characters, Boyd, Grace, Spence, et al, are the most interesting and complex characters since Hill Street Blues. We will feel like family is missing and will be reduced to watching something much less satisfying and interesting. If you haven't seen any of Waking the Dead yet, start with the First Season and prepare for a bumpy ride!
