Mrs R @MrsRusch Apr 11 Mark Gatiss is an excellent show creator, writer, and director. This show has the makings of an excellent period murder mystery. However, as talented as he is, he has begun overloading his stories with homosexuality, especially where it does nothing for the plot. I get that he's gay, but I'm not, my family isn't, the vast number of viewers (statistically) are not, so why always shove it in our faces? The stories are excellent on their own, they don't need this senseless detour all the time. For those of us who don't support that lifestyle (and there are more than Hollywood wants to accept) it detracts from the excellence of the show. How about telling a story for the sake of the story, the murder mystery, and let it stand on its own? I really do like this show & will return for series 2. I just hope the concentration is more on the mysteries and not on his sex life. See more Sara M. @skdenver999 Feb 17 I made this account just so I could rate Bookish as high as possible. Its absolutely perfect! Mysterious, funny, moving, and never boring. I laughed, I cried, it's the best thing on TV rn.

The first two episodes (parts 1 and 2) are slow and watching is tedious as the characters and writing are utterly unoriginal. Add to that dull characters and we have the perfect mix for a failed recipe. Book is imperious and not particularly likeable and is a one dimensional and predictable, stale sterotype. The storyline moves slowly and feels very Agatha Christie. Unoriginal. And the supposedly clever name Book is not clever or funny.

The story line is reminiscent of Film Noir even though it’s in color. If you enjoy dramatic mystery then you can enjoy the ride If not then try it it may fit into your liking. Also you can stop at any time but please be kind to it in your review as we the fans want more information from Bookish.

Overacted and predictable. See more Read all reviews
