I can remember watching the first series starring the late Mark McManus and was a fan from the very start. Always well acted the stories are extremely well written and unlike many crime series nowadays it is always impossible to tell the murderer until the last few minutes of an episode. The series has such character and is unlike any other crime drama on television.In fact it was a trial blazer in that it was really one of the first crime drama`s that didn`t spare anything in trying to make the series realistic.
One of the fun aspects of the series as well is to spot the actors who have been in the series before. Because there is a limited amount of Scottish actors you do see many of the same actors cropping up in the series time and time again playing different characters.
Although Taggert himself may have long passed onto the great detective graveyard in the sky I am sure that Taggert will be around for many more years entertaining us and making us cringe at the sight of some poor soul with a knife or other instrument poking out of there chest!
