Murder Investigation Team is a gripping crime drama series that originally aired on ITV in the UK between 2003-2005. The show follows a team of detectives from the Metropolitan Police's Murder Investigation Team (MIT) who are tasked with solving complex murders and bringing the perpetrators to justice.

The main character of the series is Detective Superintendent Sarah Cavendish, played by Lindsey Coulson (known for her role as Carol Jackson in EastEnders). Cavendish is a tough, no-nonsense detective who leads the team with an iron fist, but also demonstrates compassion and empathy for the victims of the crimes they investigate.

Cavendish is supported by a talented team of detectives including Mike Hedges, played by Michael McKell (Doctors, Emmerdale), who is the Senior Investigative Officer and has a reputation for being tough but fair. Other members of the team include DCI Vivien Friend, played by Samantha Spiro (Mum, Doctor Who), who is a skilled investigator with exceptional attention to detail and DC Pete Foley, played by Richard Hope (Poldark, Broadchurch), who is a seasoned detective with a calm and methodical approach to investigations.

The show explores the difficult and often harrowing world of murder investigations, with each episode focusing on a different case. Some of the cases that the MIT team investigate include a double murder in a park, an apparent suicide that turns out to be a murder, and a serial rapist who is preying on vulnerable women in the city.

Each episode is tense and gripping, with twists and turns that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The show does an excellent job of highlighting the painstaking work that goes into a murder investigation, from gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses to piecing together the motive behind a crime.

In addition to the investigations themselves, the show also delves into the personal lives of the characters. We see the toll that investigating these brutal crimes takes on the detectives, and how they struggle to balance their work with their personal lives. There are also some romantic subplots, with relationships forming between some of the characters.

The cast of Murder Investigation Team is excellent, with each actor delivering strong performances that bring their characters to life. Meera Syal (Goodness Gracious Me) plays the team's pathologist, Dr. Angela Moloney, while Steven Pacey (Blake's 7) plays Deputy Assistant Commissioner Tony Nicholson, who oversees the team's work from above. Diane Parish (EastEnders) also features in a few episodes as a Detective Chief Superintendent who clashes with Cavendish.

Overall, Murder Investigation Team is an engrossing crime drama that will satisfy fans of the genre. The show is well-written, well-acted, and portrays the gritty reality of murder investigations in a way that feels authentic and nuanced. It may not be suitable for those who are sensitive to violence or intense subject matter, but for those who enjoy a good murder mystery, this show is definitely one to watch.

Murder Investigation Team is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (12 episodes). The series first aired on May 3, 2003.
