George Gently (4/10)

List item

What can I tell about Inspector George Gently (portrayed by Martin Shaw). You mean besides the obvious, that he’s an excellent detective? Well! He would have made a “really good dad”. That’s what he told his young partner, DS John Bacchus (played by Lee Ingleby). Sadly, even though they tried and tried and tried, he and his wife never had any children. If they had, he would have been World’s Greatest Dad and World’s Greatest Detective. This series immediately drew me in because it was set in the 1960s. It had a throwback vibe I could really relate to. ♦
