New Tricks

Discovered this show on DVD and am enjoying the heck out of it! Great characters, good acting, good writing. I love British detective shows and this is a great addition to the genre. I'm still in the first season and delighted to see that it has had a long run with so many more shows to look forward to.

If you need a show that shows you why the English can produce all types of Drama's this is a great example. Not serious, but fun in so many ways, the cast all interact so well, you get to enjoy each of them for there own little quirks, watching New Tricks is a pleasure and the title song by Dennis Waterman tops it of. Cant wait for the next season.

New Tricks is in my opinion one of those underappreciated British detective shows. The character drama is the best thing about the show but the cases are also very good as well. It's a well-written show with well done, genuine chemistry between Amanda Redman, Dennis Waterman, James Bolam and Alun Armstrong. I've watched it from the second series and loved it. My favourite character is probably Brian played by Alun Armstrong. Of the recurring cast members the actress who plays Brian's wife is my favourite. I hope New Tricks continues for years to come as it's different from the other British cop dramas you see these days on TV.moreless

I just discovered this show this last summer when my mom and her husband came to visit. I actually do not watch a lot of TV because of other commitments but I have been known to rearrange my schedule to watch this program. I enjoy the characters and their antics and how they interact with each other as well as the story lines that I have been able to see so far. After reading some of the other reviews, I feel vindicated in wondering why this isn't a more popular program. But I am talking it up amongst my friends and acquaintances to get some more viewers in my area.moreless

I have to agree that i don't understand why many people have not discovered this show its great, the comedy blends in well with the serious cases they tackle and its all so believeable, i find myself crying and laughing at the same show! The characters are flawed and normal human beings that you can relate to in the real world, not like some other crime shows i would not dare mention - even though i watch them as well!!! I even love the cheesy theme tune by Dennis Waterman. In fact i loved it so much i have brought all the DVD's!moreless
