If you stripped it down to its bare essentials – just the plot and the police procedurals used to solve the crime – Touching Evil would be as good as any CSI, Law & Order or any other American crime series you can think of. What makes it better that the rest, though, is the emotional depth that the script gives to each of the characters in each of the episodes, whether they are the good guys, the bad guys or, as is often the case, guys who live in the strange limbo in between. Robson Green (Wire in the Blood) stars as D.I. Dave Creegan, an offbeat inspector who relies on his instincts as much as the evidence to help him find who is guilty. The fact that he’s recently recovered from being shot in the head in the line of duty doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in his methods from his fellow police officers, but the results he comes up with soon do.
