The ideas behind the crimes
Funny
Brilliant Mystery Drama
A brilliant TV show, one of my favourites and one you can easily watch again. This is more of a how they did it as well as a Whodunit?
The title character works as an ideas man for a stage performing illusionist. Often working out very complex crimes with a reporter friend. Often these are locked room murders or other baffling cases that don't make sense. The ideas behind most stories are really good and it's fun trying to work them out. There is plenty of comedy as well and the cast work great together.
The last 2 series weren't as good as the earlier ones but still enjoyable. The best ones though are the longer special episodes, especially "The Grinning Man". If you didn't catch them all or missed it completely it's worth checking it out if you are a fan of Agatha Christie style murder mysteries. Available on BBC iplayer and Alabi on demand.

Raise Some Anarchy
The Purge: Anarchy- is 10x better than the first one. A better plot, a better setting, and Frank Grillo. His charcter is the main charcter, but i see his charcter as a anti-hero, someone who is both good and also bad. He wants to save people, but at the same time he wants to save only himself.

The plot: One night per year, the government sanctions a 12-hour period in which citizens can commit any crime they wish -- including murder -- without fear of punishment or imprisonment. Leo, a sergeant who lost his son, plans a vigilante mission of revenge during the mayhem. However, instead of a death-dealing avenger, he becomes the unexpected protector of four innocent strangers who desperately need his help if they are to survive the night.

This franchise got off to a rough start, but this sequel ups it 10 fold. More viloence, more suspense, more thrills and more horror.
