Robson Green returns as Dr. Tony Hill. He's recovered from brain surgery from the end of Season 3and we find out that the police Detective Inspector he's worked with the past several years has abruptly taken a job elsewhere (North Africa!), which leaves him to befriend her replacement, DI Alex Fielding. But Fielding thinks Dr. Hill is bad news and that working with him may deter her career. She begins to think otherwise when he becomes invaluable in solving some recent serial killings. The police find a girl in a barrel, Hill believes it's the work of a serial killer, and he's right. In fact, the murders are being done by more than one person.
In the second episode, TORMENT, someone is controlling the killers, first a mute guy who's been in a mental institution since he was convicted of his crimes, but a new series of crimes starts to happen and they have to find out who is controlling these murderers. It's not that big surprise when the mastermind is closer to them than they realize.
In the last episode of the season, THE WOUNDED SURGEON, Dr. Hill's first police case comes back to haunt him when the new DNA evidence proves that the man sent to prison wasn't the man that did the murders. And it seems as if Dr. Hill may have planted the idea in the man's mind that he did those killings. He starts doubting himself at first, then is convinced that this newly parolled man is responsible for recent murders, identical to those ten years ago. But how can this be if there's different DNA? The story has a clever ending.
Season Four of WIRE IN THE BLOOD isn't quite as good as the previous seasons, a little less plausible and more action-oriented. Hopefully the series doesn't become to influenced by American television...
