Anyone watch the first part of this two episode series?

What did you make of it? I really enjoyed it and found it quite a change from the usual TV detective programmes.

In fact I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys easy watch detective programmes with a bit of dry humour.

Ditto, not a touch on the Daddy Midsomer Murders

We thought it was utter dogshit

Icy Gull · Mar 3, 2020

Just me then, ignore my recommendation to watch it, to avoid disappointment. :lolol:

Didn’t even last that long before finding something else to watch.

Might not have watched if I had realised it was 2 hours, but have to say I enjoyed it... Then that's not saying too much as I also like Shakespeare and Hathaway!

I so thought this thread was going to be about Irish Politics &#55357;&#56834;&#55357;&#56834;&#55357;&#56834;

I thought it was absolute rubbish. Have cancelled the series link and have asked ITV to refund the 2 hours of my life that they stole.

I actually thought it was quite good, but then I can't stand Mrs Brown's Boys.

Ah, now I realise why this entire thread had whooshed me.

Mackenzie · Mar 3, 2020

I watched it. It wasn’t great, probably an hour and a half too long. It’d do better as a half hour Father Brown/Shakespeare and Hathaway type daytime telly space filler.

Super Steve Earle · Mar 4, 2020

Watched it last night and quite enjoyed it by the last half hour when it hit it's stride. The stereotypes were so heavily overdone that the story struggled somewhat around the character building. It could have been done a lot more subtly and effectively but everything about the two main characters had to be spelled out in capitals in case we missed it. Luckily Robert Lindsey put in a decent turn with his best Hugh Grant impression. Now that's done, hopefully episode 2 will flow better.

There’s another TV detective series, Spanish production, about a murder on the allotment called ‘Inspector Brassicas’. :drink:

Come on, get off the fence, no need to be polite, say what you really feel. :ohmy:

For anyone that enjoyed it, look up the Mallorca Files on BBC.
Me? Wasted 1.5 hours (download so fast forward ads) but still watched till the end. Multi link stopped.
