does this have an underlying story that continues or can you just start watching case files anywhere?
There is an underlying story that revolves around the main cast of characters (the police detectives: DCI Banks, DS Annie Cabbot, DI Helen Morton) that is one long story, from first episode to final episode. So I do recommend watching the stories in chronological order. Unfortunately, for some of the stories, there’s a link for Part 1, but not Part 2! I’ve placed notes on those episodes to warn people to avoid watching Part 1, because they will be dreadfully disappointed not to be able to watch the second half.🙁
I just checked my notes. The three stories that have no links for Part 2 on PrimeWire are basically all of Season 2.
Missing Episodes:
S02 E02 “Strange Affair - Part 2”
S02 E04 “Dry Bones That Dream - Part 2”
S02 E06 “Innocent Graves - Part 2”
I was able to find missing episodes on theofficetv website. That site is hard to use but I only needed a couple. I found other missing episodes on watchserieshd. This is by far the best site but when it comes to part 1 & 2 videos, they get confusing. I think it is mostly due to some combining to one large video and getting things out of order. It’s not the fault of this site but the way they are uploaded.
I do recommend watching from start to finish. Good series to watch when you can start and binge watch to the end.

The biggest issue is that there are numerous errors of video links placed under the wrong season/episode pages! I believe this is due to the original video files having been mislabelled by the uploaders (for reasons unknown). I have actually watched the series - plus I am double-checking all information with IMDb and Wikipedia - so I can identify all the videos accurately.

Another issue is that there are many redundant (repeated) video links that need to be deleted.
Unfortunately, after all the links are sorted out, we will still find that some episodes have no video links available. It sucks, because most of those are the second half of two-part story arcs. But what can you do. I have noted the episodes that will end up with no video links.

END OF SERIES.
To whoever agrees to take on the onerous task of fixing all the messed up links for this series - THANK YOU ! ! ! <3
(I would be happy to do it, but I’m not an admin.)
What’s the point in posting links to the first half of a murder-mystery / who-done-it and not the second half ???
Hey cough99 - which episode did you watch, do you remember? Unfortunately, the majority of the links for this show are on the wrong pages (due to the original video uploader having mislabelled the video files by accident). I know exactly which links actually play which episodes, so I can help you, but you’d have to tell me what story you were in the middle of watching.
I just checked my notes. The three stories that have no links for Part 2 on PrimeWire are basically all of Season 2.
Missing Episodes:
S02 E02 “Strange Affair - Part 2”
S02 E04 “Dry Bones That Dream - Part 2”
S02 E06 “Innocent Graves - Part 2”
