Movie Reviews of The Inspector Lynley Mysteries - Set 1
Movie Review: Forget the books, just enjoy the show!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a longtime fan of mystery, I am a huge fan of the Elizabeth George "Inspector Lynley" series. (I own all 11).I was more than pleased when I watched the adaptation of the books in this series. People who want the exact duplication of what is in the books to reach the screen often forget that censors won't allow certain "themes" to be carried over. (As a writer, I know what I am talking about). So, if you just want to watch a wonderful series, you can't get much better than this. If you are looking for a word for word translation, just move along. But you will get your money's worth on purchasing this set. I'm anxiously waiting for the next series to come out on DVD.Movie Review: Not The Books, Okay!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, the first episode was longer and really fleshed out the characters, etc. But this is made for tv. Unless you're willing to pony up the money for longer adaptations, why don't you either stick to the books, or focus on what these episodes have to offer. I have really enjoyed the books and these episodes. The books give you nice insights and wit. These adaptations keep much of the intelligence and wit. The actors who play Lynley and Havers are spot on and a real joy to watch. If you're capable of distinguishing apples from oranges, you'll enjoy these tv episodes. I hope they make more of them!Movie Review: Inspector Lynley set 1

I thought that Inspector Lynley was truly a masterpiece when the series was shown on Masterpiece Theater of PBS. And I am again happily validated of that opinion in watching this series again. Truly great acting, great plots and intelligent viewing! This series is better than any of the detective shows currently on TV!Movie Review: A great gift
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a present for family members who enjoy British shows, and they seemed very happy to receive it. They had heard of Inspector Lynley before, when the series was on Mystery! on PBS. It seems like an excellent series and was recommended to me by an acquaintance.Movie Review: Inspector Lynley Season 1
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very interesting series. My wife & I have been watching it on PBS but unfortunately did not start until the series was well established. The 4 episodes in this set show the development of Havers-Lynley. It was very sad for this series to end. Joe H
