| "You want to know how someone died, find out how they lived, how they loved." -- Natural Causes
This delicately etched and excellently acted series on PBS's "Mystery" is my favorite. Nathaniel Parker's Inspector Thomas Lynley and Sharon Small's Barbara Havers are eagerly awaited with passion each season by this viewer like nothing else on television. Now in its fifth season, the series based on Elizabeth George's characters has grown and matured into something really special. The mysteries are always well-written and the lead characters have been allowed to let life and what each brings to the table change both themselves and each other. The dashing Lynley was originally paired with Havers because it was taken for granted he would not be distracted by her; a quite offensive presumption. But the two quickly found there was more to each other than their reputations, and proved a great team. They also became quite close, their deep friendship and affection for each other rarely dwelled upon but always there beneath the surface. One of the great things about the series has been its lack of stagnation, It is only natural that Havers has given the dashing Lynley depth and complexity while he has given her a softer appearance over time. After four seasons Havers has her hair down and looks terrific. And it is perhaps due to his relationship with Barbara that the separated Lynley has come closer to once again being with his wife Helen, winningly portrayed by Catherine Russell. Season five began with Lynley suspended pending an inquiry into brutality charges. Barbara has been paired with a new D.I., a very pregnant one a bit caustic regarding Lynley who, for his part, does not endear himself to her when he unofficially starts helping and thinks she is overlooking promising leads. "Natural Causes" began the season in fine style, and even some fun, as towards the conclusion Havers is the D.I., Lynley doing her bidding. The final episode of season five finds a murder in Soho tied to Bosnia, even Lynley's Helen lending a helping hand. But this bookend to the season will turn tragic, Lynley discovering an entire world can change in "The Blink of an Eye." Deeply intelligent and richly mature mysteries with carefully nuanced performances, the Inspector Lynley series began with a promise it has lived up to. Nathaniel Parker and Sharon Small have been marvelous and memorable in a series fans cherish in the same manner as Lynley does his Bristol. Smart and atmospheric, Debbie Wiseman's opening music setting the tone for each intriguing installment, Inspector Lynley is a series mystery fans can't miss. |
