Sharman

1995–1996 · 1 season

A grimy, low-lit British private-eye drama that feels lived-in and weary, carried by a charming but worn-down lead.

Overview: Sharman is a television series starring Clive Owen, based on the "Nick Sharman" books written by London based author Mark Timlin. Nick Sharman is a disillusioned, down-at-heel private investigator. An instinctive loner with a shady past, he can also be charming, quick-witted, determined and, despite his faults, he has an undeniable attraction for many of the women he encounters.
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, tense and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Crime, isolation, obsession, betrayal
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
