About
If you enjoy long, character-led British mysteries with a mix of grit, routine police work, and wry humor, this should fit nicely; Not for you if you want fast pacing or a consistently serious tone like Inspector Morse.
Pros: gripping multi-suspect mysteries; dry humor throughout; strong lead presence | Cons: uneven episodes; dated, old-fashioned feel; comedy can be hammy
