October 23, 2013. Canyon Lake, Texas. New Tricks.

Last week, Dave and Irene gave us our Christmas gift for 2013.  Yesterday we began watching.   The  BBC produced this series,  called New Tricks.  We four enjoyed the first disc, which was the pilot, where the characters are introduced,  along with their history.  And one old crime was solved.   The show was entertaining and engaging so we decided to watch another tonight.

In fact, we watched two episodes, right after another.   We called it movie night at Canyon Lake.  The episodes are all somewhat similar in that an old unsolved crime is turned over to the new unit of detectives.   The unusual part of the show is that three eccentric retired detectives plus two active duty police personnel make up the detective unit.  And of course, the cases are convoluted which is why they keep our interest.  As usual with the BBC,  the characters are vivid.

Tomorrow evening we will watch the last episode on disc 2.  I bet we will enjoy it too...and say thank you to Dave and Irene for giving us our Christmas gift early.
