Season Three
Benjamin Lebel is a luminary in his field: a renowned wine expert who publishes a keenly-awaited new guide every year. When the local police chief enlists his help in the hunt for a serial killer who combines murders with Grand Crus, Benjamin's intuition and his nose are stimulated by the puzzling case. They both prove infallible as he works his own investigation in the sumptuous settings of the wine-growing regions in France. Bitten by the investigative bug and welcomed by the police as an expert, he seeks out new mysteries to solve in the heart of Bordeaux and in the regions of Cognac and Champagne.
Adapted from the crime novels by Jean-Pierre Alaux and Noël Balen, Blood of the Vine is a series of full-bodied, yet light thrillers!
The four episodes in this season include:
The Scam of Saint-Vivant — While on tour in Burgundy, Benjamin is approached by the son of a notable estate owner seeking his professional expertise. He soon finds out that his presence is curiously un-welcomed by the father. To make matters worse, a former employee of the estate is found dead and the police consider everyone as a suspect, including Benjamin himself.
Nightmare in Côtes-de-Nuit — Benjamin is invited as the guest of honor to a wine-tasting event in Burgundy. He luckily avoids a fatal poisoning after an unexpected guest shows up and demands Benjamin's seat at the table. It would seem that Benjamin was the obvious target, but he has serious doubts after he starts investigating into the victim's life and business.
Late Vengeance in Alsace — A journalist is killed in Alsace while investigating an old client of Benjamin's. The local police ask for Benjamin s help after discovering that the victim had recently contacted him for information. Benjamin finds clues in the midst of a dispute between his old client and the client's neighbor over land purchases and a shared insect infestation.
The Mystery of the Yellow Wine — Benjamin accompanies his wife France on her business trip to oversee a vineyard acquisition. Upon arrival they learn that a local yellow winemaker was recently found dead as a result of suicide. As much as Benjamin wants to relax, he can't help but investigate the allegations of the winemaker's murder and the motive surrounding his inheritance.
Season Five
It's been several months since the team took down Henry in Hong Kong, and change is afoot. Auggie (Christopher Gorham) is back at the DPD, Arthur (Peter Gallagher) is offered a job in the private sector working for McQuaid Security, and Joan (Kari Matchett) is returning from maternity leave to find that she's been passed over for the job of DCS in favor of Calder (Hill Harper). And after mysteriously going off the grid for months, Annie has resurfaced, anxious to get back to work at the CIA and harboring a secret that could jeopardize everything.
Sent to Chicago to investigate a purported terror plot, she soon discovers that the threat is very real, and much greater than anyone has anticipated. As a result, Annie finds herself swept into an international mission that will take her from Venezuela to Argentina to France and many points in between. Along the way, she'll continue to cross paths with Arthur's new boss, Ryan McQuaid (Nic Bishop), a charismatic Navy SEAL-turned-CEO with his own ties to the terrorist — and his own secrets.
This 5th and final season of the series aired during Summer/Fall 2014 on USA Network.
Season Seven
The FBI's masterfully manipulative criminal consultant Patrick Jane is back for the seventh and final season of the clever crime series.
Formerly employed by the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Jane spent two years off the grid and in exile after tracking down and exacting vengeance upon Red John, the serial killer who murdered Jane's wife and daughter. After crafting a deal to work for the FBI, Jane convinced former CBI agent Teresa Lisbon to join him. Supervised by the no-nonsense Agent Dennis Abbott, Jane and Lisbon work alongside their former CBI comrade Kimball Cho, FBI analyst Jason Wylie and the young, ambitious agent Michelle Vega.
Now that Lisbon and Jane have confessed their love for one another, they must find a way to be partners in both their professional and personal lives as they begin their new relationship.

Beautiful young DCI Sasha Miller (Tamzin Outhwaite) keeps a watchful eye on her motley crew of veteran detectives: Gerry Standing (Dennis Waterman), Steve McAndrew (Denis Lawson), and Danny Griffin (Nicholas Lyndhurst). Although the show's cast has changed over the years, they still solve daunting cases with classic sleuthing skills and more than a touch of gentle humor.
In Season 11, the team tackles crimes involving antinuclear protesters, battle reenactors, an amateur sleuth, illegal immigrants, and state secrets from the Cold War era.
