Durham County: Season Two (2009)
Well, things aren't getting much sunnier for homicide detective Mike Sweeney ( Flashpoint's Hugh Dillon). Events in the first season left a huge rift with his wife Audrey ( Murdoch Mysteries' Hélène Joy). Newcomer Penelope Verrity ( True Blood's Michelle Forbes), a psychiatrist who is supposed to help Sweeney's daughter, is in a pretty bad way herself. "We wanted to explore some of the negative aspects of the human personality," executive producer Michael Prupas says in the extras. Mission accomplished.
The Sweeney: The Complete Series One/Two (1975)
Here's another Sweeney - this one Cockney rhyming slang (Sweeney Todd) for Britain's Flying Squad, a division of detectives assigned to combat organized crime. John Thaw (who years later played Inspector Morse) stars as the unit's head, Detective Inspector Jack Regan. Dennis Waterman, later of Minder and New Tricks, works alongside him. The first-season set includes the 77-minute pilot, in which Regan's first words, to a criminal apprehended in bed, are "Get your trousers on. You're nicked."
