We really wanted to like this.
We're always rooting for mystery shows to be good, but this one had some of our biggest pet peeves.
One of the biggest being unlikable main characters. We liked the main character okay, but the rest were non-stop annoying. Especially DI Mallick. The police were so bad, we started hoping they were getting everything completely wrong and would be proved idiots at the end. The supposed requirement that the cops be snarky really has to go.
Despite all that, we appreciated that the script went classy rather than crass with the vocabulary and the visuals. Cinematography was great.
Would love to see an attempt at a second season maybe with more stories that are shorter. 90 minute mysteries are perfect.
