The long-running British series “George Gently” is finally eligible for the Emmys thanks to the participation of the streaming service Acorn TV. Martin Shaw, who has headlined some of the most popular English dramas of the last half century, has the role of his career as the title character, a police detective who struggles to find his footing after his wife is killed.
While the first 23 telefilms were set in the swinging 60s, the last two see Gently and company adjusting to life in the 1970s. The last installment in the series, “George Gently and the New Age,” is contending for Best TV Movie at the 2018 Emmys. This finale brings Shaw’s character full circle as he inches closer to solving the death of his wife. That tragedy had been he catalyst for Gently leaving London in 1964 and joining the North East police force.
A large part of the appeal...
