Movie #2166 "New Tricks" (t.v. series - amazon prime) We have watched about 6 seasons so far of this British crime drama and have found it most enjoyable and we are only halfway through --- 107 episodes all together, 12 short seasons, each show runs about 45 minutes, and it is quite fun to watch. All the actors are capable, with an equally capable and strong female as leader of the crew. The job they perform is for UCOS --- they are retired older investigators now put on jobs that have never been solved --- cold cases. They get their job assignments in a number of diversified ways, and by the end of each show some are solved, and others aren't, but they continue on. The investigating is always involved but fun to watch, esp. the way they play off each other. Jack is a widow who talks to his wife's ashes in their back yard to work out his thought processes, Gerry has a family full of women (including ex-wives) and he would rather hash things out in a bar, Brian who passionately reads books and has a photographic mind with names and years has a wife who just lets him go and rolls her eyes) . And they are all working for Chief Superintendent Sandra Pullman, willing to take risks and watch their backs. It's fun, it's involved, the cases are mostly interesting, and there's nothing on t.v. now that is like it. We recommend with a strong 4.5.
