Buy it, rent it, get it at your local library at the very least. You'll be glad you did.
I am truly and honestly surprised a Touch of frost hasn't more reviews here. It has being ranked numerous times as the "Number 1 Detective show in the UK" and I couldn't possibly agree more.
Jack Frost is a character to get into very easily. He is sarcastic, full of flaws and at times even questionably unhygienic. He's got a nose for detective work like no other always annoying his superiors. I love the fact that his instincts never fail him always thinking independently from his peers.
This series wouldn't be as successful if the story lines were not as brilliant and deeply dramatic. Some cases are even to controversial for American TV, like the case of the mentally handicapped teen ager accused of murdering a child. EMOTIONAL TO THE MAX! I specially enjoy how most movie episodes seem to always have two parallel cases side by side that seem to end up related at the end. Very different, very original. The writer R. D. Wingfield is just such an out-of-the-box thinker, he's a genius.
A Touch of Frost is such an enjoyable series, (specially the early and mid seasons) I watch all 42 episodes and consider my self very lucky to have found such high quality programming.
