Audience Member Season one : ludicrous disease, comical acting and shoehorned in romance. Season two: girlfriend gone, subtle better acting, focused on cases.......far better sight. The second sight. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member CI Ross Tanner is a good detective who learns his career is winding down due to the slow onset of blindness. Instead of taking a pension, he hides the condition (from fellow inspectors) and works on developing two new tools: trusting his blurry "second sight" which allows him a new perspective and mentoring a junior DI to see what he can no longer. Reminds me of Holmes, Poirot, or Marple solving a crime through letters and newspaper clippings - only with a bit of sexual tension on the side. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A clever detective show -- I think I watched this one years ago, first Owen movie, and then it disappeared from PBS -- turns out there are more than one season to this one, though it is difficult for me to imagine how long one can carry on a series that is based on a detective losing his vision and working hard at not being found out. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Clive Owen plays a cop on a murder case. He starts to lose his sight to a rare disease. British cop drama double disc feature. Great twist at the end. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/coverv/64/225764_thumb.jpg[/img] [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/coverv/82/212582_thumb.jpg[/img] Clive Owen stars in this BBC miniseries as DCI Ross Tanner, a detective living a face paced life and a rising star in his field. Unfortunately for Tanner he is afflicted with a rare eye disease that distorts his vision. Tanner, unwilling to give up his current lifestyle, does not report his condition and continues to work as a detective out in the field. [i]Second Sight 1[/i] is where we are introduced to Ross Tanner and the onset of his disability. While sneakinig out to get his eyes checked he is also in charge of a new case concerning the death of a boy who was preparing for college. Assigned to the case as his new deputy is DI Catherine Tully, who eventually learns of Tanner's secret. They form an uneasy alliance, she offers to help him hide his condition and wants a fair oppotunity to show her worth in regards to the case. But to solve the case, Tanner will need to use his other senses and discover clues that cannot be seen. [i]Second Sight 1[/i] is a two part miniseries totally about 3 hours in length. [i]Second Sight 2[/i] is made up of three 2 part episodes. Each part is one hour long with a total length of about 6 hours. "Hide and Seek" is the reopened case of a dead superstar violinist. "Parasomnia" finds a woman covered in blood upon waking up. "Kingdom of the Blind" deals with racial hate in the UK when the black coach of a new children's recreation center is murdered. I highly recommend this miniseries, especially if you like mystery and detective stories. The mini sometimes play on PBS's Mystery! hour on Saturday nights, but the inconvenience is that you have to check your local listings weekly. Both [i]Second Sight 1 and 2[/i] can be bought in a collected box set for $26.98 (with free shipping) at [url="http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemid=GBH038209"]Deep Discount DVD[/url].
