This time, the setting is such a rare place as the Shetland Islands, so the series is called Shetland. The main character of the series - Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez (Douglas Henshall) returned to Shetland, from one of the islands of which he is from, after the death of his wife, from whom he has a adopted daughter Cassie, in connection with which he has to communicate with her rather unlucky father. Perez himself, like many successful detectives, can be said to take his work too seriously, because of which he often does not develop relationships with people, especially with women who could become close to him, but who sometimes fall under the shadow of suspicion during the investigation of crimes, which ultimately alienates them from him, although he himself does not much seek close relationships. By nature, he is a fair man, always tries to maintain objectivity, but sometimes his kindness fails him, as a result of which he can not immediately see the criminal. But in the end, he still finds them, albeit by a difficult way, the reason for which is the specificity of the islands, where many know each other and are often tied together by informal connections, because of which they do not see criminals who are their friends. In police circles, too, as usual, not everything and not always clean. The series, as they say, for fans of the genre. It is interesting to look at the characters, who are sometimes quite different from other Britons – they are more emotional, sometimes unbridled and even more addicted to hot drinks. The landscapes of the islands are also peculiar – bare hilly terrain, sometimes without a single tree on the horizon, which reminded me of Mongolia, which once happened to live, from which, however, it is advantageous for the presence of the sea.
