    I am in the US and came upon the show while browsing Britbox I absolutely love it, and have just purchased the books. I am an avid crime story reader (fiction and non fiction) and I am always drawn to books that have substance and allow you to get to know the characters. The characters are what make Shetland special, they have depth. And I really don't miss all the guns and violence shown on many of the US crime shows, and some books can be over the top too.

I do understand wonderful authors needing to step back and watch the growth of their creation and not be involved in it any longer. Here in America the same thing happened to the books for the wonderful series Jesse Stone starring Tom Selleck. We thirst for more TV series but sadly I don't think there will be more.

  • @annierehmann8830
    @annierehmann8830 5 лет назад +18

    I love both the TV series and the books, but as was mentioned before, the storylines are very different. Tosh was created for the TV show and doesn't feature in Ann's books. I love Dougie as Jimmy, but in a way he's almost like a different person to Jimmy in the books (at least visually).
    What I love about the books is that you get to meet Fran, and you get to be there when she and Jimmy fall in love. Your heart breaks when he loses her very tragically. I highly recommend the audio books read by Scottish actor Kenny Blythe. He adds another dimension to Jimmy and all the other characters with the different accents depending on each character. I've never been into audio books before but now I'm hooked. If you love the TV show and want to delve deeper into Jimmy's past, his roots and his underlying sadness, I highly recommend investing into the eight books.

    I cannot fathom why Ann Cleves thought we'd be tired of Jimmy Perez and Shetland. I am still ready for more seasons. Cleves did say just how many murders could happen on Shetland before it became ridiculous. Which is a fair point, but what about Oxford, Midsomer, Hastings, etc. Jimmy could have been assigned to the mainland for a special case. A couple more books would be appreciated.

In the TV series Cassie is in university and NO girlfriend and no pregnancy. It's very odd to rewrite a book so dramatically I think.

    It has always been hard for me to understand why it would be "the end". The end of Sherlock Holmes, The end of Hercule Peroit the end. How do you bring someone to life and then decide it is the end. And I have to admit it is a pet peeve of mine. I always feel like the audacity of stringing me along, getting me caught up in these lives and then just deciding you have had enough. Because the world is the way it is right now, just the fact these characters exist and will go on in some alternate reality gives some sort of relief. Why do you have to call something the end, when it could have been just a sabbatical and then we could go on with the lovely illusion that this tiny part of our imaginary world was still spinning on somewhere on the planet, just not regularly updating us. But this need for the artist to just be done with it, always comes across as cruel, almost selfish. Of course thousands have benefited from the enjoyment of reading and also watching the stories. But, why, after you have us, youve got us all tied up in the life of the story you created would you decide to end it? Why not just take a break.

I didn't find the main character very sympathetic, I thought the plot was ehhh, and I found myself not very interested in the sturm and drang of a gay cops love life.
    Shetland the TV show is fabulous, and I'm hoping it will continue. Vera is also pretty great, and LOVE Brenda Blethyn. I hope she never grows tired of the show and the character.
