![DCI Banks: Aftermath [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/912ly9lTinL.jpg)
A young woman is unconscious, bleeding from a head wound. Hiding in the cellar is her husband, ready to wield a knife at anyone who tries to enter, desperate to protect his secret. What happens next leaves one of the officers dead, the other fighting for her career and Inspector Banks with a chilling murder investigation that will test him to the limit. The beauty and tranquility of England’s Yorkshire Dales provides a striking and contrasting backdrop in this thrilling psychological drama that brings Peter Robinson's fictional detective to the small screen for the first time.

I'm a sucker for good British crime drama
and this series can really grow on you. Aftermath was the pilot of this episode and it's a chilling introduction to Alan Banks. Stephen Tompkinson plays a decent man besieged on all sides struggling to solve a horrifying series of murders. From the family of one of the victims, to the criminals and his own colleagues, all are trying to manipulate him.I give this only four stars simply because it's not the best of British crime fiction, especially when compared to series like Foyle's War, or Sherlock but compared to American crime drama, this is very superior show.

DCI Banks - the beginning
This is where the entire show began. If you're a fan of DCI Banks you have to watch this one. This was taken straight from the book and put on film so skillfully that audiences demanded more.

It would have been better to have this episode placed at the beginning of ...
As a big fan of DCI Banks, this is quite suspenseful, albeit very disturbing and over the top gory. It would have been better to have this episode placed at the beginning of the series instead of at the end of it.

Extreme gore and haunting violence.
I'm sure someone will order this just because of my title, but I was really disturbed by this. I love the crime drama genre, and have really grown to like the characters in the DCI Banks series on PBS. However, the level of gore and violence against young girls in this movie was unbearable. I won't be rewatching it or recommending it to friends.

Great Start to a Fine Series
The pilot episode of DCI Banks! It would have been nice to get this episode included with the season 1 DVDs, but the price wasn't bad. Its a well written and acted, sometimes bloody & gory episode but it keeps moving to a good conclusion.Keep an eye out for the beautiful Sian Breckin as a police officer fighting for her professional survival!

Good early DCI Banks British crime series episode
I have all the DCI Banks series on DVD. This was as good as those crime stories and was the first (or one of the first), that got the series started.

Great Crime Drama
Here in the U.S. we have been teased with DCI Banks on PBS. There seems to be no rhyme or reason when and what episodes PBS shows. So we decided to get the entire series and we don't regret it. It is a great series.
