"A Well-Done Series (but hide your Scoobie Snacks!)"

This enjoyable mystery's strengths are commented on quite ably by the reader reviews on this site.
Permit me to point out two minor complaints which have not been brought up:
1.) Clive Owen's character suffers from a vision impairment. So why, oh why, do we also get subjected to auditory hallucinations as well? Are the filmmakers just trying to use every trick in their bag to heighten suspense? This happened so frequently, I got a bit annoyed.
2.) Why must every mystery end with the villain toying with the hero and explaining in full every last detail of any plot developments that are still murky? This was a tired ploy in every Scoobie Doo episode I ever watched, and I was saddened to see it employed here as well.
This is a two part mystery show. Clive is head of the investigation of a murder. He is losing his sight and has to depend on his female partner to help him solve the crime. He does not want to have to depend on her for anything but as his sight fails he is forced to depend on her as she leads him around trying to not have anyone notice that he is going blind. Clive is fantastic in almost every movie that he makes and this is no exception. He has such charisma and personality and good looks. He is one of my favorite actors. This is well worth watching more than once. Regina
All of the good things have been said: nuanced performance by Clive Owen and Claire Skinner, riveting mystery, charismatic and now rising star in USA, interesting rhythm and plot, similar tenor to Prime Suspect. I would add that it is ophthalmologically correct. I transcribed over 10,000 ophthalmic visit letters and never came up with AZOOR because I did minimal retinology. Found it in the Ophthalmic dictionary. These writers got one over on me.
It's a predictable mystery but it's well packaged and, as I said, Clive Owen is hot! There's some intensely erotic moments in this series that make it worth watching even though the average mystery fan will have the plot all figured out way before the climax.
Yes, I've admitted elsewhere that I am incredibly shallow at times, and this is one of them.
"Touching and Creative - not your typical detective show!"
I found this show on at 1 am one night, and was caught. I didn't know what day it played, or at first what channel it was on, so I found myself staying up, flipping channels to find it. After that I realized it might be better to use the TV Guide. This is a wonderful show. It's star is arresting, both vulnerable and strong at the same time. I try to avoid watching anything that doesn't catch my creative eye, and this did, completely. Such a show you would normally assume to be firmly within the usual "detective show" genre. It wasn't. It was wonderful. Creative, imaginative, touching and appealing. Beginning to end it was awesome.
I highly recommend Second Sight and its sequel. I think I have a new favorite actor... Clive. I hope I can find him in other features. He was just superb. A very compelling actor. I hope to see him in some big feature films in the US. He is an actor to watch. There's a lot of meat there in his acting ability.
