Murphys Collection

---

I have the paperback book, which was quite a bit longer. I bought this thinking "wow, he's made more! It's just not worth it to me. Everyone in this house has read this book since it got here and enjoyed it. MSG Baker is just superb in capturing the humorous aspects of the reality of the Army. I was certainly glad that I got this latest work by him. One person found this helpful 2 people found this helpful.

Occasionally, an actor steps into a character who becomes indelibly memorable: I believe James Nesbitt's Tommy Murphy deserves membership in that club. Although I have only watched most of the first two seasons, I am quite impressed with this series.

Murphy was a cop in Ireland who witnessed the killing of his daughter in a hostage situation. The scars of the experience drove him from his marriage, job, and country. He relocated to England, where he resumes his roll as a policeman, but is often called "Paddy," with a sneer. Murphy investigates all sorts of crime, often under cover. His wits and his wit are impressive. Its different in a good way, although often bleak and unsweetened.

I recommend it, especially to Anglophiles, and by the way, it has subtitles.

Enjoyed this when it aired on the Beeb and it was equally entertaining this time on dvd. In this series as in the Hobbit films, Nesbitt seems tailor-made to play a bit of rough. His constantly undercover role provides a different slant to a crime drama. The six one hour episodes in the first three series allows good story development that held my interest throughout. The final series five was disappointing. There was more than enough action with expected violence, language, etc; at times, Murphy's stamina pushed the boundaries.

This is one of the better ones. One person found this helpful. I bought these sets separately - not the "complete collection" so the review is for the show as a whole, rather than this specific disc set. This one, I was heartbroken when it was over - not because of the ending or the content, solely because I'm going to miss Murphy, the storylines, the feel of the show, everything about it is absolutely unique and wonderful.

When people say "gritty" it makes a red flag go up that says "extremely, unnecessarily vulgar" - but this show is GRITTY in the real sense of the word-it is not meant in the sense of the most recent use of it in the entertainment industry in America -which is usually Vulgar in a way that has nothing to do with the story or creating a scene or having anything to do with the actual content of the show. This show is so wonderful and mesmerizing and has you on the edge of your seat when watching, that you don't notice what would be acceptable only on HBO, as far as drugs, sex, and violence goes.

We notice you are using an outdated version of Internet Explorer.

Everything is true to the story and never seems like it is overboard or done solely for reaction purposes. It is gritty in the true sense of the word, and the drama and mystery and crime - SUSPENSE is more like it, is so wonderful, its like a movie that keeps going on and on A week or so later I wanted to watch a show, felt like it was a certain mood, couldn't put my finger on it - "what is that show? It was that good. I will be endlessly searching for another show that can give such a strong "mood" of suspense that is so believable but I can't imagine I will find one.

This is a great series, but you have to like James Nesbitt. He's great in this role of an undercover cop from Ireland. He has a very dry sense of humor. Some episodes are pretty dark, but for the most part the issues covered are relevant to today. Sometimes it's hard to understand the accents -- thank goodness for subtitles.

Got to say this up front. Save this for after the kids have gone to bed. Follow Murphy through the slimy underbelly of the drug and human trafficking world. Don't look for the sanitized CSI version of crime. No bang your dead clean bodies, things don't always work out for the best in the end, and the hookers and strippers don't wear bikinis.

The Ultimate Collection of Murphy's Laws

Good series to follow through to the end, but I must say again. Don't leave these DVDs out for the kids.

As always, James Nesbitt is awesome. The series is well written, well acted and just good fun. If you like gritty police dramas, this one is for you. This was an excellent series- He is awesome in it. Don't understand why they cancelled this show- all the good ones get chopped. Intense, witty, a roller-coaster of a series. See all 21 reviews.
