Murphy's Law is way up with some of the best of UK police shows ever.
Review date: 2008-03-22 Rating: 10 out of 10
I bought this box set due to previous comments and other information I found on the net. Living overseas I had never seen James Nesbit in anything so what a treat I was in for. An actor of the highest quality who dominates the show with his realism and gives a tremendous performance throughout. I do agree the box set itself is lacking of any extras which is a major disappointment and infact I thought some of the shows could have been a tad in longer but never mind. The current price from Amazon.UK is a steal so indulge yourself as you will not regret it

Buyers should be aware that these discs mainly comprise of the edited episodes (presumably for overseas sales) and so have roughly ten minutes lopped off (from season 2 onwards). Great series, duff release.
Real Action Drama at its Best
Review date: 2008-01-08 Rating: 10 out of 10
When a comedy actor as James Nesbit is best known for (cold feet etc)turns their hand to hard serious drama usually it lets you down, this however is different, Nesbit performance as gritty irish undercover cop is totally believeable, he plays Murphy,and is assigned to cases which no one else wants, his unorthodox methods are very unconventional usually breaking every rule in the book, but it turns out results,every episode is action packed and are usually 3 part series for one story, brilliant script writing and excellent casting make this an edge of the seat watch,i totally recommend this and hope for more please....
JAMES NESBITT AS THE TOUGH UNDERCOVER COP.
Review date: 2007-10-30 Rating: 10 out of 10
James Nesbitt for me is one of the finest actors on the Tv at the moment who can turn his talent to anything. And none better than tough but vunerable DS Tommy Murphy who works undercover for the Met Police. Through the coarse of the five nerve racking series he has to hunt down killers to drug dealers. Watch his friends get killed and even his own Mother be taken to a home while being hunted by a ex-con in Ireland in series four. James is so believable in the part that you can feel the trauma he is going through just to get justice served. This is a must buy which has no extras but that said is no less fantastic for that ommission. It would be great if the BBC have another series lined up for 2008 as Murphy still has a lot to do yet !.
