Description:
From deep within the morgue at St. Patrick's Hospital in London's East End, Dr. Iain McCallum (John Hannah) and Dr. Angela Moloney (Zara Turner, Sliding Doors) along with a team of brilliant pathologists and detectives help the dead tell their stories. Together, they painstakingly use their expertise to deduce how and why a life has ended – proving that while it may be too late to find a cure, it's never too late to solve the puzzle.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Excellent BBC series
McCallum: The Complete SeriesThis is an excellent, compelling series starring John Hannah. Great characters, storyline, production. You will be unable to tear yourself away until the end of the episode (2 hours). Sadly the series was not renewed. Probably due to the replacement of the lead characters in the final episode -- its hard to have a series called McCallum without McCallum in it. Highly recommended.
Rating:  - McCallum start of the U.S revolution in C.S.I series
McCallum as one viewer puts it is the forerunner of the C.S.I franchise in the U.S.
And what a franchise that is running from brilliant Criminal Intent with Vincent Donofrio to the strangest redhead of them all David Caruso in the monotonous Miami.
Anyway back to Mcallum,great actors and yes some very gruesome subject matter and grisly scenes around the cutting table.
Hannah is a great actor and his scope is wide.
It is at it's very best here as you can almost see the wheels ... Read More
Rating:  - Cheap and shoddy
I bought the series based on the Amazon reviews as well as the lead actor John Hannah. Both have let me down terribly. Hannah is a much more mannered actor than I had previously realized, taking quick shortcuts to show complex emotions. And the scripts gets sillier as the series progresses. Some might call it gritty and realistic, I just call it cheap and shoddy.To say that this series inspired CSI is like saying the Egg McMuffin inspired Eggs Benedict.
Rating: - See (and enjoy) them all, except for the last...
Fabulous series, and I wish they'd made more. Of course it was a precursor to CSI - but better, because McCallum is so natural, so real, and the actors are stupendous. However, I suggest getting the series at the library and skipping the last one. It's a total bore - McCallum (John Hannah) is gone, along with the exquisite Angela (Zara Turner) and everyone from the start of the series looks weary. The actors basically phone in their performances and the new people have no charisma whatsoever. Either ... Read More
Rating: - My views on the McCallum series
The stories were excellent. I was surprised, however, at the amount of full nudity shown and sexual situations. They were totally unnecessary and did not enhance the stories. Also, the last episode did not even have McCallum in it,but was like a pilot for the Lynley series. That was very disappointing, especially after we had gotten to see relationships grow, go through problems, find solutions, and had gotten to appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of the characters. My wife and I decided if we ... Read More
