Edward L @Glyndower Apr 17 An entertaining reboot although not as good as the original. The show articulates too many modern detective cliches: emotionally damaged lead character; problems with his child; corrupt and incompetent jealous subordinate; slimy, lying, criminal journalist; woke casting (Jersey is one of the whitest parts of the UK, due to its immigration policies, with less than 3% of the population black or asian yet about a quarter of the investigating team are 'persons of colour'). The storyline is over-extended through six episodes. Perhaps it would have been better to take the 'Morse' line and had three two-part stories. The casting is generally strong although Pippa Heywood tries, and fails yet again, to break away from her comic personas while Zoe Wannamaker is her usual unpleasant self. Stick to what you are good at Pippa. Worth a watch though. See more Phuct O @CMLTOE Feb 27 I loved it. I hope there is a season 2. See more Alain E @AlainE Dec 28 Extremely dated in describing situations and the main hero. Kind of a low rent James Bond and I am not a fan of his either.

John Nettles had the ability to make you like him ... which this new character doesn't. Without John Nettles Midsomer Murders would have fold as this series will very quickly under its new straight jacket of cliches and bad acting.

Every element we have seen many times. Main character totally unlikeable. See more Read all reviews
