Deam's awful, and he will still be there. Alex Price and Nancy Carroll won't say gone forever, but their screen time will be drastically reduced (with the exception of a few episodes) for many seasons. Past inspectors will visit in later seasons, too. There are some very good moments in episodes after season 4, but I'd be lying if I said there is isn't an overall letdown. Season 9 is a hoot, though.

The inspector role is a straight man; get over it. It needs far more acting chops than he’s got to put across a subtle comic aspect. Tom Chambers was essentially one note, but at least that was credible and he was easy on the eyes. The best inspector was in season one.
So knowing that Alex Price and Nancy Carroll will be gone in season five but Deam will still be there? I sense a loss of interest on my part. Already I’ve noted that I’ve gone from careful parceling out the allotted episodes each month to where the month runs out before I use them up.
