在这部乔治·詹特利探案 第二季剧情/悬疑/犯罪片中,智慧、勇敢与正义化身的侦探角色总是能受到观众的喜欢，丧妻的退休探长乔治·詹特利（George Gently）就是极具个性和强烈正义感的好男人，人们一提到他的名字就提心吊胆，因为他拥有能够制服伦敦臭名昭著的黑帮的铁腕手段。他和他的搭档约翰·巴克斯（John Bacchcus）一次次深入险境，解开了各种案件的层层谜团。
这部BBC出品的传统英伦侦探剧改编自作家艾伦·亨特的《乔治侦探》系列，在上个世纪60年代的英国上演了一幕幕老少搭档侦破案件的精彩故事。《乔治·詹特利探案》在澳大利亚、挪威、德国、比利时、荷兰、加拿大、印度、日本、法国、爱沙尼亚等多个国家播出，取得了不俗的收视成绩。
扮演乔治的马丁·肖是英国最受欢迎的演员之一，在他的表演生涯中，成功诠释了一百多个电视剧角色。同时，马丁·肖在戏剧舞台上更加活跃，凭借百老汇经典剧目《理想的丈夫》中的戈林勋爵这一角色，他赢得了托尼奖提名和纽约喜剧委员会奖最佳演员。而乔治的年轻搭档约翰的扮演者李·恩格里比，观众对他应该并不陌生，他就是哈利波特电影第三部《哈利波特和阿兹卡班的囚徒》中骑士公交车的车长——史坦·桑派。
两位不同风格的主演将经典的英伦侦探剧模式中个性十足的侦探乔治和不太情愿跟在他身后的年轻警察演绎的淋漓尽致，剧中两人配合默契，不乏幽默互动，面对扑朔迷离案件，一点点抽丝剥茧，最后查明真凶，是侦探剧迷们不可错过的佳作。
Gently and Bacchus investigate when elderly Alfred Peachment is found murdered in the grounds of the large house where he lived alone, formerly a children's home which he superintended but now closed for several years. The house was being sold, against his wishes, by a committee headed by his ex-wife and her brother, the local doctor, to the seemingly callous property developer Cora Davidson. Harry, Alfred's mute, simple-minded gardener, is the chief suspect and he attacks Bacchus. Only overly helpful local copper Blacksmith seems able to communicate with the boy, causing Bacchus to resent him. A discussion with an old flame leads Gently to suspect that Peachment may have been a paedophile, abusing children in his care, and that any of the suspects may be acting alone or as a group of avengers, to punish him for past misdeeds.
