Containing multiple storylines including racism, kidnapping, infidelity, and murder (of course) in an urban setting, Jericho plays more like an episode of the Law and Order series. The complexity of Detective Jericho brings depth to these stories. Robert Lindsay (of Horatio Hornblower ) portrays this multi-dimensional man; though straight-faced, on-point, and brutally serious in his professional endeavors, off-duty reveals his charming, quick-witted, and humorous side, which also can turn deeply introspective and lonely. Flashbacks from his youth reveal a troubled story, making him intriguing enough to keep you interested, without going overboard on the drama. In this modern series set in 1950s London, a seemingly unrelated murder and kidnapping occur at the same time, piquing the curiosity of the detective as he struggles to find the connection. Under scrutiny of the press, the public, and the victims' families, Jericho performs the daunting task of deciphering the truth amongst an abundance of suspects, all hiding their own secrets. Fans of the genre will enjoy this two-disc set, yet the sleekness, color, and fast-pace will appeal to those who may tend to shy away from such programs. Mind the DVD menu as it treats each two-part episode as one. After the first episode ends (credits and all) you have to wait through another set of opening credits and Mystery! intro a second time, before the next (or final half) episode. --Rachel Moss Chief Inspector Michael Jericho of Scotland Yard is a respected, uncompromising and forward thinking detective investigating high-profile murders in 1950s London. The series is set in a fascinating period of Britain's social history, when London saw an explosion of colour, glamour and shifting attitudes after the Second World War. Jericho is a man surveying a city changing beyond recognition in front of his eyes. Starring Robert Lindsay (Hornblower; Oliver Twist; My Family), Jane Horrocks (Little Voice) David Troughton (All The Kings Men; Sharpe), Ciarán McMenamin (Watermelon), Francesca Annis (Reckless; The Debt Collector), Nicholas Farrell (Bloody Sunday; The Jury), Claire Bloom (The Camomile Lawn; Brideshead Revisited) and Geraldine Somerville (Gosford Park; Cracker). Review: Jericho: Set 1 - I used to work in the West End, near Soho, in the early '60's as a teenager and found that Jericho had captured the atmosphere and seediness of that time in Soho, wonderfully. It also bought back forgotten memories e.g. block mascara which had to be wetted before applying dipping the brush in it. Girls used to spit on to the block as it was found the mascara stayed on longer than with water and gave a better look!! I think that Robert Lindsay was right for the part and is a strong lead to a good cast. I found it a good entertaining buy. Review: Great British Film Noir AND MORE ...... - As someone else said on here , this is a great film noir . I received my set yesterday and am really happy with this detective series that I usually view on PBS t.v. all takes place during London of the 1950's . Nicholas Renton, Diarmuid Lawrence , etc. all good stong performances and story lines . I look forward to the next set out in Sept. which I will purchase as well from desertcart . where else can I get better prices and free S/H when buying over $25.00 ? saves me from driving to my nearest book store or video place which is over 20 miles away . My library doesn't have everything . No, I do not have any financial interest in desertcart nor do I work for them . I also own Foyles War ...sets one, two and three . I shall order set four in July . I'm really looking forward to that set of four as well . A great cast and story lines , many of which are based on true happenings in world war two ...course with the exception of Det.Foyle being interjected for extra viewing interest as well as the rest of the cast . But, Michael Kitchen is great .and how all the senes, cars etc. are meticulously re-created that one feels like we are peeking back in time in Britains during that time. I think the British do more with a 100 minute tele -movie then many of the multi-million dollar movies people pay to go and see here in the U.S.A. at $12.00 and up and more ( if going with friends or family ) and many times feel let down . It has gotten out of hand expense wise for families or just a guy taking his girl out for a movie and burgers afterward ... not to mention the highway robbery for the stale snacks bought in the movie theaters . Anyway, these bRITISH shows have class . KUDOS all round. ( sorry I digressed for a moment .) But, at least those folks who enjoy spending big bucks for a night out at the movie have the satisfaction knowing they are keeping their favorite movie stars in style ...lol. Now I'll bet there will be someone offended ...lol...don't bother to write comments on my reviews it's a waste of time as I do not read them . my reviews are my opinions . ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | -, Nicholas Renton; Diarmuid Lawrence | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 23 Reviews | | Format | Closed-captioned, Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Genre | Kids & Family, Mystery & Thrillers | | Language | English | | Number Of Discs | 2 | ## Images ![Jericho of Scotland Yard - Set 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51275TQMN9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jericho: Set 1 *by F***E on February 10, 2007* I used to work in the West End, near Soho, in the early '60's as a teenager and found that Jericho had captured the atmosphere and seediness of that time in Soho, wonderfully.
