TV-GSeason 6
In 1960s Britain, an upstanding detective takes on a dangerous world
Synopsis
Watch Inspector George Gently (2008) Season 6 online on iFILM — four cases that send the old Northumberland detective and his sergeant into the closing years of the 1960s. This is the show's last full run before the farewell.
It opens on a resignation. Bacchus has lost his nerve and hands in his notice, so Gently keeps him close by pulling him onto a death in police custody. The cases that follow take the pair to a family holiday camp where a greencoat turns up dead, then into a tangle of LSD and Cold-War suspicion where Gently leans on an old friend, and finally down a pit at Burnsend, where a death underground rips open political grudges that go back years.
Across these four episodes Martin Shaw plays the inspector quieter than ever, more worn, more aware of what the decade has cost. It reads like a reckoning rather than a chase. Watch all episodes of Season 6 online on iFILM.
