ReviewsNew York Times - The mutual contempt [between Alex Drake and DCI Gene Hunt] results in a sublime chemistry, the kind we watched ôMoonlightingö for [à], Entertainment Weekly - The sequel ditches the '70s for the '80s--but the original's hard-boiled plots, retro-pop score, and scene-stealing politically incorrect Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister) remain., Los Angeles Times - [à] everything is equally ambiguous and equally real. Ultimately they are just here to entertain you, and do.
