About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like easygoing British mystery-comedy with antiques, countryside charm, and lovable rogues, somewhere between Campion and Jonathan Creek; Not for you if you want nonstop action or a darker edge.
Pros: roguish central charm; witty banter; cozy British escapism | Cons: gentle pacing; occasional uneven episodes; some supporting roles divide viewers
