Mysteries on TV, your source for the most complete selection of detective, amateur sleuth, private investigator, and suspense television mystery series now available or coming soon to DVD, is profiling one series that has a season DVD being released this week, and a set of made-for-television movies based on Ruth Rendell's novels of psychological suspense.
Intelligence, a critically acclaimed Canadian series, spins a dark, daringly complex narrative web that ranks among television's best.
The story centers around Jimmy Reardon (played by Ian Tracey), a Vancouver drug lord trying to go legit, and Mary Spalding (Klea Scott), the head of the Canadian intelligence service for the Pacific region. Although they work on opposite sides of the law, Reardon and Spalding form an uneasy undercover alliance to protect their turf from rivals inside and outside their organizations. All loyalties are negotiable in this high-stakes game, and the players use money, sex, drugs, and murder to secure the most powerful commodity of all -- information.
The Intelligence: Season Two DVD set of 4 discs contains the 11 episodes of the second and final season that aired on CBC from October through December, 2007.
The Ruth Rendell Mysteries was a series of made-for-television movies based on the suspense novels by Ruth Rendell that aired over a 12 year period on ITV.
Many of Rendell's books featured Chief Inspector Reg Wexford of Kingsmarkham, a fictional town in the real English county of Hampshire.
The The Ruth Rendell Mysteries: Set Four DVD contains two of these Wexford adaptations: Simisola in which Wexford looks into the abrupt disappearance of the daughter of his physician, and Road Rage in which Wexford's wife is taken hostage by a radical group of environmentalists.
