"Vincent"

[bunchofgrapes]

Anyone ever heard of or seen a British show called "Vincent"? It's about an ex-cop turned private eye and from the write up on IMDB, the main character, Vincent Gallagher, sounds a lot like Jim Brass ("macho, flawed, and extremely vulnerable man, who seems to live in the shadows of his past"). It's funny because just yesterday I got this catalog in the mail and saw the blurb for the DVD's. I was thinking that the guy who plays Vincent, Ray Winstone, has sort of a Paul Guilfoyle look about him, which is why it caught my attention. Well, that and the catalog write up compared the show to Monk and CSI.

I just added the show to my Netflix queue but if anyone has seen the show, I'd be curious to know what you think of it.

Had to google it since I had no idea what the lead actor looked like. He does resemble PG a bit. I've heard of the show but I can't recall where and how--never seen it though. Hmm, it might be worth checking out just for the CSI factor. Plus, I'm a sucker for anything from across the pond.

I've never heard of "Vincent", but I really like Ray Winstone. If you get the chance to see "Sexy Beast", do. He's really good in it, as is Ben Kingsley, in a wildly different role. And yeah, he does have that PG quality of brawn rather than looks, which is what I do go for. But he's blond....

I'll have to put it in the queue, too.
