It is good for all ages. Actor Martin Shaw stars as the principled detective George Gently in these four feature-length mysteries. These dramas unfold against the beautiful backdrop of rural Britain during the tumultuous 1960s.

I just love this series. I've seen them from 1-5 in order and am looking forward to Series 6. I thought Series 5 was the best-yes, it just keeps getting better and better!

started watching this series on PBS and got addicted quickly. Great series, both main characters grow on you the more you get to know them. Can't wait for the next series!

The actual stories in this season are not the best, but the actors (both the regulars and the guest stars) are fabulous as usual. Recommended for George Gently fans. Additionally, I recently discovered that there is a sixth season of…

Series ended with a dramatic cliffhanger and unanswered questions as to how the Inspector would be able to clear his name and all charges against him. What's more, both main characters were seriously wounded. Since there is a Series 6, all…
