Interesting show

I had never heard of this show before but came across it on the shelf at my local library. I brought it home and watched about 8 episodes, starting with the one where the entire crew and passengers of an airliner go missing.

Immediately, I thought there was mystery there, as if Department S was a sort of like The X-Files but as the series went on it was more about crime thriller / mysteries and was quite entertaining. Lots of style and it's always fun to see that sleazy guy with the beard crack onto the women. He always looks so greasy and dirty yet the ladies fall over for him.

But the great thing is the way it starts, with the freeze frame and that amazing theme tune! I just love it. I always watch the credits instead of skipping them because it's just so cool.

I'm a big fan of The Sweeney, The Professionals and The Avengers and this one is just as good.

I saw there's a new show here on Sunday called Life On Mars, which is about a present day cop being transported in time back to the '70s where the Sweeney era existed. I taped it and will see if that's cool as well.
