Summary of "Season 3 - ": The show is slow, but very entertaining. Robbie Coltrane does a wonderful job playing the character, and I'm going to miss the show. HBO did a great job in getting these sets out quickly - 3 sets in 6 months. This was a great series that I've recommended to a few people I know. (read entire review)
Summary of "Season 2 - Full Monty Killer": While the show isn't packed with action, it's quite good. It's interesting watching Fitz go at a suspect, picking at his mental walls until he finally snaps. The character of Fitz was named one of the top 100 greatest TV characters by the British public in a special that aired in 2001. I also liked the serial aspect to the series because it allows the story to become deeper than a 1 hour series would allow. In 1997 the show was picked up and Americanized, with Robert Pastorelli (Murphy Brown) playing Fitz. It lasted only 16 episodes after failing to find an audience.
The highlight of this season has to be "To Be A Somebody" with Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty). It's awesome television! (read entire review)
