Jack Taylor (TV series)
''Jack Taylor'' is an Irish television drama based on the Ken Bruen novel series. Set in Galway, the program features Iain Glen in the eponymous role of Jack Taylor, a former officer with the Garda Síochána (national police) who becomes a "finder" (private investigator) after leaving the service. Taylor looks for clues others have overlooked. He also knows the streets of his hometown like the back of his hand.
The series received mixed reviews from critics. Bernice Harrison of ''The Irish Times'' felt Glen's voice-overs spoiled the series, giving the character a film noir gumshoe feel. But David Stephenson of the ''Daily Express'' said he was hooked since the first episode's strong opening sequence. A real-life private investigator, interviewed by ''The Guardian''s Laura Barnett, said he found the series an entertaining but sometimes inaccurate portrayal of his occupation.
==Plot summary==
Set in Galway, the series is based on Ken Bruen's crime novels and features Iain Glen as the protagonist, Jack Taylor, an old-school detective, and a maverick who often drinks much more than is good for him. After he is sacked from the Gardaí (the Irish police force) for assaulting a politician he had stopped for a traffic violation, Jack begins to work as a private investigator, reluctantly taking on cases the police will not investigate. Incidentally, there are no private eyes in Ireland--"It's too close to being an informant – a dodgy concept". This is according to the Jack Taylor voiceover, but in reality there are many private investigators in Ireland. However, Jack soon realises his experience suits him in his new role. He is aided in his investigations by his contacts, including some of his former Gardaí colleagues, notably Officer Kate Noonan.〔
