Touching Evil (1997–1999)
5/10
Not Even In the Vicinity of Evil
18 December 2023
I finally got around to watching this and almost wish I hadn't. There is nothing evil about this apart from the bad writing, bland and stereotypical psychos and cops and dull characters who are often totally illogical in their behaviour. As for the plots, a six year-old could work them out and the dark photography, presumably to give the series "atmosphere" is just annoying. Then there is the acting - if one can call it that - running the gamut from moody to intense and not much more. The OSC officers are generally presented as thick, incapable or unhinged - or all three - while only Creegan has the "brilliance" to find the solution to each mystery. Robson Green has done much better work than this and Nicola Walker is sadly reduced to being a sidekick who stares angrily at everyone and shouts a lot while trying to look tough. All in all about as gripping as a wet sponge.
