I remembered this series as very good, although slow at times. and like many uneven, better at times. So I started with Season #7 AcornTV.
but somehow Bacchus has deteriorated into a bitter divorced drunkard who uses woman and Gently doesn't think he does Bacchus job very well; the name....is on the nose. He is neglecting his duties for a married woman, wife of another officer, and drink. What happened, He used to be a good guy and a good detective with a future. Gently interferes bec he thinks Sgt. Bacchus is throwing his career away. Gently was kind, but strong and astute. Season #8- only 2 episodes. It's political intrigue which I had trouble following; maybe because I got bored, and drifted off. And in the end the intrigue is based on politics and "giving the Americans what they want" with local political conspiracies'. that prove fatal- So when did Americans become the enemy.
The end is very unhappy and unsatisfying. spoiler or not, I won't say. I was surprised but that doesn't make it good. I don't like when they wrap up a series in an unsettling way. this is entertainment, fiction. not life.
