There he watches over the oft-times larcenous doings of the inhabitants and tries to keep them out of trouble, protecting them from both the law and genuine evil-doers. The series turns out to be a delightfully idiosyncratic concoction, sort of reminiscent of Local Hero, but with Carlyle playing a Scottish police constable who disguises his own ability from his superiors in order to avoid promotion and get to stay in the quirky seaside town of Lochdubh. (Of particular note is that several episodes are directed and/or written by Danny Boyle, with whom Carlyle later made Trainspotting.)
So when the Recommendations feature popped up the intriguing sounding Hamish MacBeth - starring Robert Carlyle, who has a great star turn as a psychotic soccer fan in the original Cracker - it seemed worth a try. The Wife and I are big on British mysteries on TV and have been working our way through the whole Midsomer Murders series via Netflix.
