Prayer of the Bone is the full-length feature following the fifth season of crime drama Wire In the Blood. Though it cinematically has that made-for-TV feel, Prayer of the Bone is a fast-paced mystery questioning the guilt or innocence of Darius Grady (Brad Hawkins), convicted of killing his wife, Loren (Nicole Lin Taylor), and two kids, Jake, and Lucy. Chalking Grady's insanity up to the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder he acquired from wartime events in Iraq, Wire In the Blood's star, Dr. Tony Hill (Robson Green), is flown to the U.S. from England to examine Grady's mental status, finding discontinuities in the seemingly tied-up court case. Hill takes on Grady's attorney, Ray Decosio (Drew Waters), and Decosio's assistant, Anita Addison (Naima Imani Lett), to discover that Grady has endured some disturbing mistreatments. Based on a Val McDermid novel, Prayer of the Bone paints a heroic portrait of the criminal psychologist that has solved so many cases in previous television episodes. Though some of the drama's characters are specific to the film, Dr. Hill does daily retreat to his motel room to speak by phone to his confidant, detective inspector, Alex Fielding (Simone Lahbib), much in the way Agent Cooper dictated to Diane during episodes of the wonderful Twin Peaks. Though Wire In the Blood does offer a portion of the intrigue that Twin Peaks generated in its heyday, Dr. Hill is a much less mysterious character than Cooper, and as the criminal details are revealed plot simplifies quickly. Still, Prayer to the Bone is unique in its topical coverage of veteran syndrome, PTSD, which lends it merit for tackling an important subject matter. --Trinie Dalton

I own the complete set of Wire in the Blood and it is one of the best psychological crime dramas I've ever watched. Robson Green is magnificent as Tony Hill the Criminal Psychologist who profiles criminals and murders. I'm also a big fan of Criminal Minds, but Wire in the Blood is more explicit and raw at times and it keeps you rivited to your seat. For people who are into crime series and especially the psychological aspect of the criminal mind you don't get any better than Tony Hill.

This is a wholly engrossing episode set far away from its usual milieu and all the more interesting for this. The program's attractiveness is greatly enhanced by the lead actor, whose performances, each episode contain many subtle nuances. A superior program with a superior lead actor. I would rate it very highly.

I've previously purchased and viewed the first four seasons of Robson Green in "Wire in the Blood" and find it one of my favorites of the British mystery genre. Only criticism is that "about" year four, and on into year five, more and more quirky little "tricks" and invasions of an aural and visual variety are making their way into the action scenes; as if the director/producer/writer cannot believe the story and acting will carry itself--in my opinion, a bad and debilitating decision. Leave it alone! Just tell the story and let Green perform his magic.

Excellent creation of Dr Hill, though a little confusing at times, he is still the Dr Hill we all know and love.

I'm a fan of Wire in the Blood. I don't think I have ever been disappointed by one of the regular season shows. They are stylish British noire. It just didn't translate as well as I would have liked to a Texas milieu. In fact. until I checked IMdb I wouldn't have sworn it was shot in the US. It felt just a little off at times-- for instance, a hotel in Austen without air conditioning? They tried to paint the hotel as a local low price no-tel motel, but it would have to be several more steps down the food chain before there would be NO air conditioning.
I presume we are also to believe that his car is from a rent-a-wreck place-- uh, that's a classic car not a junker. And why is he wearing that sweater AND a suit coat? And what type of bar was he at that they just put the bottle on the bar so the customers could pour their own shots? I assumed at the time it was Tequila but there wasn't any salt and lemons in evidence.
So here we are with a character and a show I'm very fond of, a plot that is too simplistic for the character of Tony, and a villain that I could see coming a mile away. But it still was better than a lot of shows and it did have Robson Green. That alone can make up for a lot.
Anyway, if a newby like this show then he or she will probably really like the regular seasons.
