I am a big fan of U.K. (and Scandinavian) copper shows. The characters seem to have more depth and the British producers seem to realize that most of the population does not look like fashion models or magazine covers, unlike my US shows, where only the bad guys are not physically attractive. I like that, it makes the characters feel more real.
My favorite shows of all time are from the U.K. Foyle's War, George Gently, Midsommer Murders, Inspector Lewis......
But this one leaves me flat. It is slow paced, and the investigations seem to wander about, and at the end I don't get the "Aha!" moment, where it all comes together, and you finally put the pieces together along with the show detective(s).
I'm really disappointed, because US TV has gotten SO bad and so predictable, I can't even watch the old US shows that I enjoyed.
No offense to those that enjoyed it, but I can see why there is only one season listed on IMDb. And I'm not watching PBS, I'm watching via Acorn, which I've never known to resort to crass editing for the sake of time or some imagined inappropriate content.
