almost turned me off


this show almost turned me off Dalgliesh for good. He was SO wicked to Nurse Goodall, and she was such a nice girl too. If she didn't tell him the complete truth, it was because he made her nervous. It seems to me that Dalgliesh is nicer to the killers than he is to the innocent. He got better in other shows, but here he was horrible. How he ever got married at all, I don't know!

Movie girl: Sorry, he was very rough with Nurse Goodall, for she inherited a lot of money from Nurse Fallon. She freely admits this, but he is tougher than ever with her! We are supposed to feel that AD is the very personification of justice and works very hard to have it prevail. No matter what the cost or who the killer turns out to be he feels driven to pursue justice.

Though he gets rude and nerve-shattering, we the viewers know that it is not just his job or doing what is right. We somehow see the inherent reason behind his tough and seemingly implacable exterior. He really cares for each and every one of the victims; case in point, Nurse Ethel Brumfett, who actually was annoyed with his intrusion there! Of course we are aware of the purpose. Oddly enough, he works even harder to bring the killer to justice! And the books are very interesting. Through the series we find that AD is a man to be pitied. He had lost his wife and baby about 20 or 25 years ago and never remarried. We see him speak of it rarely.

No matter what the cost, our AD relentlessly pursues the killers to bring them to justice. No spoiler here, but anyone who likes the series should read the book to learn a key element of the story. It is too hard to see it, as the wonderful P.D. James was often very subtle.
