A brilliant criminologist probes the dark recesses of the soul
With more than 25 major awards--including BAFTAs for best drama series and best actor--Cracker ranks as one of British television’s most acclaimed crime dramas. Robbie Coltrane (Harry Potter, Ocean’s Twelve) truly inhabits his role as the brash and brilliant forensic psychologist, Dr. Edward “Fitz” Fitzgerald. For the police, Fitz’s astonishing insights into the criminal mind prove invaluable, but his arrogance and boorishness make him barely tolerable as a colleague. For his family, Fitz’s self-destructive compulsions--scotch, sex, and gambling--bring only pain and turmoil. Complemented by an outstanding cast, Coltrane delivers a brilliant performance as a genius who can dissect a psychopath’s motives, but can’t keep his own demons at bay. These powerful crime dramas examine the pressures and prejudices of contemporary urban life and the violence that they spawn. DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE Cracker: Behind the Scenes, an intimate, 45-minute visit with the show’s cast and creative team. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

 Dark but compellingJul 20, 2010
The series is interesting and the stories are compelling. I find little to like about the character. The series focuses on all his faults. The women all love him but its not clear why as his flaws are not balanced by any personality assets.
Great Britich MysteryJun 27, 2010
This is a great British mystery series with hours of entertainment with some of Britains great actors. Don't miss this one if you enjoy some of the British entertaiment.
Awesome BBC classic!Jun 21, 2010
Cracker is one of the best TV dramas made. I saw it years ago, and enjoyed it - so bought this DVD set to watch with my wife, and we both thoroughly enjoy it. It used to be funny having to remind myself "Yeah, they drive on the wrong side of the road", but now I've had to add "Oh, and they didn't have DNA".
Fabulous series about a super brilliant psychologist who helps the police profile criminals. While working, he's about as sharp as they come. But - whenever he isn't working, his life is a mess. Marriage problems, drinking, smoking, gambling, etc. Leaves you wondering if he's going to self-destruct before (or after) they catch the crooks.
InterestingMay 10, 2010
We both loved this collection, except for the "bash the Americans/they deserved 911" entry in
the collection. Even my husband, who is English, was offended by that.
Robbie Coltrane is superbly fascinating and we enjoyed looking at the mysteries
of murder from the psychological standpoint.
Highly recommend this!
Excellent writing, excellent acting.Mar 04, 2010
You don't see writing and acting this good in the US. A wonderful, greatly flawed character played by Robbie Coltrane keeps things very interesting!
