A dire mish mash of other TV "detective" programmes using the woodentops as actors
You could see nearly every "character" was based upon a character in another programme.
Cancelled record series....

It survived my "give it five minutes" test. Agreed there are a lot of copy and paste characters in there, but there's the seed of something quite good.

How did he know she was having an affair, by the way?

Probably read it in the script from another TV series....

I thought it was decent Sunday night disposable TV, although packed full of TV detective tropes - the dark past, the oddball, an alcoholic detective, the will-they-wont-they love angle (x2), the "dreaming spires" of Oxford Cambridge.

It was refreshing to see it as an hour long episode, rather than stretched out over 2 hours as is the ITV style. This gave it a bit more 'pep'

To be honest I didn't question the logic behind him 'knowing' she was having an affair, I don't think it's going to be the kind of show that warrants in depth problem solving smile

The original Belgian version is better. This just feels like a pastiche.

You can find Season 3 of the original on All 4.
