INSPECTOR REX - THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON                      
Distributor: Aztec International    
Certificate:  M | Region 4 

Extras: Yes 

ANYONE IN IT WE KNOW?

Tobias Moretti, Gedeon Burkhard, Heinz Weixelbraun, Gerhard Zemann, Wolf Bachofner

THE LOW DOWN 

Inspector Rex (aka Kommissar Rex, aka A Cop's Best Friend) is a great series about a highly intelligent German Shephard dog who is seconded to the Austrian Police Force in the Murder Squad in Vienna, Austria. Rex has had a few different handlers throughout this long running show, the fifth series sees him partnered with Detective Alex Brandtner (Burkhard). 

THE VERDICT

Gedeon Burkhard makes a great new foil for Rex, he actually came on the scene in episode 50 following the departure of Richard Moser, the 12 episodes in this set are also well upto standard, if you've only seen the shorts for Inspector Rex you maybe surprised at how gritty it actually is, there's multiple murder in a variety of gruesome ways (including someone getting stabbed in the throat with a car key), prostitution, drugs and all manner of well dodgy characters but the plots are strong and the main characters very likeable. 

With series 6 to follow hot on the heels of this season five release the series shows no sign of wearing out its welcome any time soon. 

 

Inspector Rex is a must for any fans of quality detective drama and is well worth spending some time with.
