Movie Reviews of Touching Evil 2
Movie Review: Wonderful, tense
Summary: 5 Stars
It isn't often in the US that we get the kind of quality that is usual on the BBC, ITV or other independent productions. The British seem to care more about their productions than we do.
I have all 3 seasons of TE. Each episode makes me wonder how writers could come up with such orignial scripts. The scripts are personal, as though the writers asked themselves what they would do if they were in the same position.
Robson Green is fantastic as the tortured Dave Creegan. He is in a difficult position. After being shot in the head and chest he has to take medical leave, which includs psychiatric leave. It distroys his family. Now his ex-wife is living with a man who has no problem with Dave coming or going in the house or sleeping on the couch. Dave's "X" gets pregnant and doesn't want the child. It's obvious, she wishes it were Dave's not Barry's. Oddly enough it brings the two men closer.
This is a very emotinal show as the watcher wonders how Creegan will deal with the next case and when will Creegan and Taylor fall in love, but they never do. It's a friendship. Creegan is still in love with his "X".
It's very difficult to explain the feeling this show brings to the viewer. When I first started watching the series, I was numb by the guality of the programming and the abilities of the actors.
Green as Creegan brings a wonderful presence to the character. Creegan stands out as emotional, volitile and yet shy man. Nicole Walker as his partner Susan Taylor, is awed and yet scared by Creegan's edgy personality. Michael Feast as ACC Enwright works hard to rein in Creegan's emotionality and sometimes fails. The rest of the cast, up until Series 3, just follow in Green's and Creegan's footsteps.
This review was supposed to be about Series 2, but all 3 of the of the series hold their "own". I couldn't tell you which I prefered, but I do recommend all of them.
Summary of Touching Evil 2
Maverick Detective Inspector Dave Creegan (Robson Green, Reckless) and his partner D.I. Susan Taylor (Nicola Walker, Four Weddings and a Funeral) are on the case in three darkly tinged mysteries.This time out, Creegan, Taylor and the Organized and Serial Crime Unit have their hands full with some deeply disturbed criminals. One is a serial kidnapper-murderer whose fatal fascination with young women leaves Creegan with a new scar to bear. Another is a profoundly disturbed relief worker whose nightmares of atrocities committed in Bosnia impel him to erase the memories of fellow aides?permanently; and the last is an international ring of baby brokers.
