      Original author Robert Goddard was not impressed with the adaptation of his novel. In an interview, he said "The TV version of Into the Blue was a travesty of the story I wrote and I am determined that any future adaptations should be more faithful to the original".

    I Liked It
    Compared to what we get on American tv, it was good. England seems to understand that there can be suspense without having to have calm, cool main characters and it is supposed to be believed that this is intensity.

    I came into John Thaw's work very indirectly, Inspector Morse would air on ETV as one of the Mystery segments. Of course, he was good.

    It would take me a while or two to realize that Into The Blue was not the same character, but still the story was fun.

    Being handed the abandoned baby, the death in the canoe and then the body found on the shore like that all at the beginning, and seeing how they all connected was a good attention-getting story.

    He got a pretty good ally in Zhora there for a while too.

    I know nothing about the book, of course, so it was all the first time I had seen the story.

    I had no problems with it.
