What do you think? Are you DCI Banks fan? Should ITV have cancelled or renewed it for a sixth season?
Great show one of the best on streaming TV! Should never be cancelled! Hopefully, this not one of thous “woke” decisions! ugh!
It’s a shame that an extremely popular programme is finally put to rest
Extremely disappointing decision. Almost the only crime drama worth watching.
We came to the DCI Banks series rather late. We found it compelling, beautifully scripted, fast paced, and very well acted. Far above many of the others of its genre.
Disgraceful loved inspector banks
No they should not cancel series 6 its brillant ..Roger
I came late to the series and watched all episodes in short order. Such a shame and a sadness to see the last episodes of such wonderfully acted and produced programming.
DCI Banks should not have been cancelled. It is a well-written, riveting police drama.
Gutted! Only just discovered it on Prime. Sad there are only 5 seasons, it’s fab!
Great show. Should be revived. Should have been great in the ratings.
I really enjoy British crime series. They totally different than American with a lot of gunshots, noise and all of them very similar. I think as long as Peter Robinson writes next novels with DCI Banks, next season 6th should be created. There are probably less interested productions are still existing.
Disgusting decision
So sad DCI Banks cancelled! Great show!
Great show, stellar casting. Does this answer your question ? SEASON 6,7,8,9,10.
Big mistake to cancel DCI Banks. Great cast and episodes.
