Troubled cop Rebus battles crime on Glasgow's streets, and battles his own personal demons, the drink and his fractious relations with his family.
I think The BBC has a winner here, it's a cracking series, hopefully one that will go on for years to come. A lot more violent than anything that's been on mainstream TV for a long time, incredibly gritty.
Nicely made, but definitely has a a raw feel to it, that's part of the appeal.
We've all had our favourite, for some it was John Hannah, for some including me it was Ken Stott, Richard Rankin was first choice casting, he's absolutely brilliant.
I liked the dynamic between Rebus and Siobhan, they're not exactly bosom pals, there's definitely a degree of friction, which grows as the series develops.
I was a little mixed about episode one, but by the second I was hooked, I could easily have binge watched the whole lot in one go.
More please BBC.
8/10.
