<P> In March 2013, The Guardian's Laura Barnett spoke to a real - life private investigator from UK Private Investigators who had a mixed opinion of the series . Tim Burchell of UK Private Investigators told Barnett: </P> <P> The first time I tried to watch this, I turned it off after 20 minutes . I just couldn't stand all the cliches: the heavy - drinking, loner ex-cop . That's not who I am at all (...) I enjoyed it much more the second time . It does show all the groundwork we have to put in: people think we sit and type names into Google, but we're out there, pounding the streets . And although I've never taken on a murder case, as Taylor does, missing - person cases are our bread and butter ." </P> <P> He also felt that such shows can give a misleading view of his occupation . "Shows like this are great entertainment, but they do give people the wrong idea ." </P> <P> Lumière released the first five episodes on DVD with Dutch subtitles on 29 January 2013 . Acorn Media released the first three episodes on DVD in the UK on 4 March 2013 . </P>
