Watch George Gently
The very first episode of the series started when the inspector decided to retire from service following the death of his wife Isabella who was murdered by a driver who ran over her and ran off. Just after that he found out about the death of a certain Johnny in the same manner as his wife and also that the guy who was suspected of causing his wife's death was in the locality where Johnny had died he changed his mind about retiring.
He then relocated alongside his close colleague John Bacchus to that area to investigate Johnny's death. However when he got there he found out the same guy Webster who he suspected for killing Isabella was also carrying out investigations about the same case.
The next series of episodes that followed in the series were all about the inspector setting out investigations about various crimes committed in relation to killings, theft, abductions, child trafficking and suicide cases as well.
