From NetFlix:
Roy Marsden stars as Scotland Yard sleuth Adam Dalgliesh in this epic miniseries based on the popular mystery novel by P.D. James, a tale that also features a brief appearance by a young Kate Beckinsale. After inheriting a seaside cottage from his aunt, Dalgliesh escapes the city for a little R&R, only to find himself neck-deep in a string of serial killings. Can he expose the killer before his vacation is completely ruined?
Filmed in 1991, this 6-episode P.D. James mystery series can be streamed from NetFlix with subtitles. Somewhat ordinary, at least the story is neither gritty, grim, nor graphic.
Roy Marsden has played Adam Dalgliesh in many of these P.D. James book adaptations. As an extra treat we get to shudder at Gemma Jones’ cold steel-grays eyes.
Throw in some clandestine romances, some landlord-tenant grief, a struggling mother-less family with 3 children, and nuclear reactor intrigue and you get a watchable 6 hours of entertainment.
