Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First of all, let me get this out of the way... I just love this series as well as the character of Rebus. Ken Stott is just the ideal candidate to fit the role of Ian Ranklin's DI John Rebus. Rough, unrefined, unpolished, Rebus is mostly detested but you as the viewer can't help admiring him. The plots are scary and twisted. Some of the Edinburgh scenes are downright spooky. The self-destructive traits of Rebus, including his drinking, seem to inspire feelings of affection from women and this makes the stories more interesting because of the little personal twist. If you have a problem with Scottish accents, this series can be a bit of a problem- it's thick!

Four thrilling mysteries: The Black Book A Question of Blood Strip Jack Let It Bleed Ken Stott (Casanova, Messiah, The Vice) returns as rumpled, hard-drinking Detective Inspector John Rebus, hero of Ian Rankin’s perennially bestselling novels. Rebus bulldogs violent criminals in modern-day Edinburgh, from young toughs and drug dealers to corrupt captains of industry and commerce. His earnest, ambitious partner, Detective Sergeant Siobhan Clarke (Claire Price, Poirot: The Hollow, The Whistle-Blower), learns plenty of lessons from her mentor -- not all of them in the best interest of her career. Although Rebus’s disdain for procedure and politics earns him the ire of his superiors, no one can argue with his results.With his black humor, blacker moods, and relentless pursuit of the truth, Rebus inherits the mantle of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler’s hard-boiled detectives -- with a distinctly contemporary, Scottish twist. DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE Rebus: Behind the Scenes, a 50-minute documentary, featuring interviews with Ian Rankin, Ken Stott, Claire Price, Jennifer Black, and more; Ian Rankin bio; trailer; and cast filmographies.
