DVD Reviews of Jonathan Creek - Season Two
DVD Review: TV Series
Summary: 5 Stars
Delivery was timely as promised. The item was the exact quality promised. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again.DVD Review: Intelligent, witty, charming
Summary: 5 Stars
The Jonathan Creek mystery series is a gem - the thinking person's crime series that doesn't rely on
the hackneyed formula of gun fights, car chases and things that explode. Each is a seemingly impossible puzzle with a solution provided by the shy but brilliant Mr. Creek. The only thing wrong with the series is that there aren't more of them. Warning- If you are an Anglophile can be addictive.
DVD Review: Good British Mystery with Comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a delightful British TV Series, with mystery & comedy. It actually gets better with each season, but even the First is very good. The staring actors are excellent at both generes, mystery & comedy.Plot often involves mjrder, but not always. What is so enjoyable is that even for us British murder buffs, this series has the different focus of Johnathon being a brilliant individual who creates all the Illusions that a famous
magician uses, so that the stories focus on situations that "should not be humanly possible". e.g. a murderer kills and then apparently exited a tightly locked room, with no possible exit. Johnathon always shows in the end how the caper was carried out, and the figuring out is interesting and often rather comical! Supporting acting is also quite good. A MUST SEE SERIES!
DVD Review: Jonathan Creek Solves it Again
Summary: 5 Stars
Season Two of Jonathan Creek is just as good as the first season -- I won't go into reviewing Jonathan Creek itself, if you're seen it and you like it then you'll like this. It's a straight-forward DVD, broken up onto two discs. I will warn the American audience, British TV seasons are usually much shorter, and this is no exception - 6 episodes, instead of the 18-26 you'd expect from an American TV show.DVD Review: Jonathan and Maddy are perfect together
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I discovered this series many years ago and would watch it whenever it appeared on TV. At first it was only available on DVD in Regional 2, but when I saw that I could get it through Amazon for USA format, I rushed to buy both sets with Maddy in them. My 12 year old grandson enjoys quoting many of Jonathan's humorous lines and talking about the episodes with me. I look forward to viewing this series again and again!
Description of Jonathan Creek - Season Two
Based on a strange premise British TV show JONATHAN CREEK has nevertheless found an audience among fans of similarly themed crime dramas such as CRACKER and INSPECTOR MORSE. The story begins when journalist Madeline Magellan (Caroline Quentin) is snooping around and meets Jonathan Creek (Alan Davies). Creek invents magic tricks for a prominent magician and Magellan uses his ingenuity to help her crack a particularly puzzling case she is working on. The two subsequently team up for more crime-solving riddles and frequent hints of romance between the pair gently tease the audience throughout. This release includes the entire second season of the show.System Requirements:TRT: 298 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC:?794051414120 Manufacturer No:?E4141The many and manifest delights of Jonathan Creek, the British murder mystery TV series that's inarguably one of the best of its genre, continue with this two-disc set of episodes from its second season (first aired in 1998). As was the case in Season One, the stories concocted by David Renwick are marvelously ingenious. In the course of these six episodes (the seventh of the season, "Black Canary," is inexplicably not included), sleuths Jonathan Creek (the magician's assistant played by comic Alan Davies) and Madeline "Maddy" Magellan (the true crime writer portrayed by Caroline Quentin) are again confronted with a host of apparently inexplicable and unsolvable crimes: a killer who evaporates from a garage whose only possible exit was closely guarded ("Danse Macabre"); a man who is on two continents at exactly the same time ("Time Waits for Norman"); a fellow positively identified as a murderer. except that he'd committed suicide three weeks before the deed in question ("The Problem at Gallows Gate," a two-parter). Of course, we know that our heroes, relying on Jonathan's brilliant deductive powers and Maddy's sheer persistence, will eventually figure it all out--but getting there is at least half the fun. Renwick's writing is as clever as the plots themselves, filled with references to everything from Quincy and Kojak to Kafka and Bram Stoker, populated by quirky supporting characters (a blind trumpeter who isn't blind, a clock collector who's "temporophobic," a hack author named Emma Lazarus), and laced with amusing little touches. Most of all, there's the relationship between the two partners-in-crime-solving; more than friends but not quite lovers, Maddy and Jonathan are forever engaged in a semi-flirtatious pas de deux that beggars the bogus bonds contrived by, say, the average sit-com. Charming, witty, and oh, so very British, Jonathan Creek deserves a spot alongside the best of Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle. --Sam Graham
