About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a moody British mystery with intertwined cases, a bruised-but-capable investigator, and occasional dry laughs, in the vein of Whitechapel or Waking the Dead; Not for you if you dislike flashbacks or messy story structure.
Pros: engaging lead performance; twisty case threads; dark humor moments | Cons: fragmented flashbacks; uneven second season; disliked music choices
