COMPETITION: Win Ellis Series 2 on DVD

After a hugely successful first series that earned critical praise and strong viewing figures, Acorn Media International has confirmed that Ellis Series 2 will arrive on DVD on 18th May, following its broadcast on Channel 5. Three time Olivier Award winner and BAFTA nominee Sharon D. Clarke returns as the sharp witted and uncompromising DCI Ellis in the eagerly awaited second series of the acclaimed detective drama.

And to celebrate we have a copy on DVD to give away!

Synopsis:

Ellis Series 2 finds the detective inspector fresh from her victories in series one as she is once again parachuted in to tackle failing cases across the North of England..  

 

With DS Harper (Andrew Gower, Outlander, Carnival Row, Miss Scarlet and the Duke), by her side, she faces a new wave of fractured communities and mysteries that test not only her forensic brilliance but her resilience too. 

 

From acclaimed writers Paul Logue (Shetland, Vera) and Sian Ejiwunmi-Le Berre (Murder Is Easy), the new series features two gripping cases that peel back layers of silence, ambition and betrayal.  

 

The sharp and driven detective must investigate the suspicious death of a beloved community leader exposing long-held resentments and the death of a young woman that leads to the team uncovering a hidden network of coercion and exploitation.  

 

Our favourite new case cracker is back to take on more seemingly unsolvable killer crimes, but nothing will stop the tenacious Ellis in this must-see gritty detective drama.

"So now you're psychic?" - "No, No, No, it's all science" - The Mentalist

The Mentalist builds its appeal on a deceptively simple idea, that careful observation can feel almost like magic. At the centre is Patrick Jane, a former fake psychic who now works as a consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation. He does not read minds, he reads people, and the show leans into that distinction with quiet confidence. Each case becomes less about the crime itself and more about the small tells, the fleeting expressions, the overlooked details that reveal far more than any confession. It gives the series a calm, methodical rhythm, where tension comes from anticipation rather than spectacle.

What keeps it engaging over time is the balance between its case of the week structure and the long shadow of Jane’s personal story. His pursuit of the serial killer known as Red John adds a darker undercurrent that slowly builds across seasons. That thread gives weight to what might otherwise feel routine, grounding the character in something raw and unresolved. Around him, the team provides contrast and stability, particularly Teresa Lisbon, whose steady presence keeps Jane tethered when his instincts drift into risk. The result is a series that feels thoughtful without being heavy, sharp without needing to shout, and always just a little bit ahead of its audience.
