Review of New Blood

New Blood (2016)
10/10
Really engaging new cop' series.
11 June 2016
I have to say this new series is refreshingly different in the way in which it is filmed. Very quirky, fast, day to night scenes of London and the accompanying music was great. I also LOVE the opening song, Rag 'n Bone Man by Wolves. Gutsy, bluesy heavy, excellent choice. The two actors who take much of the lead, Mark Strepan and Ben Tavassoli are not only lovely to look at, they are also great at what they do and their developing relationship is at times funny and touching and at times serious and convincing. I love them! The first series focuses on a murder which happened in India some years previously. The two cops have to seek a way to work together to find out the connection between what happened in India and what has happened to several people, now dead in London in the present date. All is intricately bound up in a pharmaceutical war between two companies. I think it's a great series and I would not be surprised if it doesn't gather a young following, a bit like Being Human, it has the same unique feel about it. Well done BBC!
