Watchseries; The core elements of this were excellent ... the main characters were good and the acting excellent but the trope of the hero being in constant conflict with the boss is dreary and unoriginal and added absolutely nothing to the plot.
The potential to be the next Vera or Morse is there but at the moment it is a case of could have been.
The plot in this one was ok but the twist was obvious from the moment I saw the villain for the first time.
Maybe I have seen too many TV thrillers?
BUT I will watch the next episode to see if the rough edges in this first episode are sorted out.

Grace watchseries. This is an edgier crime series from the novels of crime writer Peter James adapted for the screen by Russell Lewis. Lewis has written for Morse, Spooks, Lewis and of course Endeavour so he knows crime dramas.
Set in Brighton on the south coast it's about Roy Grace a Detective Superintendent who's good at solving murders. Only two episodes released for 2021 both 90 minute length and it looks like 2022 will also be two episodes. John Simm and the rest of the cast are very good, good plots and development.
Not a Colin Dexter or Ann Cleeves series, but it's very good, I look forward to season 2.

Dull as dishwater. Just a bunch of actors acting not particularly well. Absolutely zero tension and pacing. a waste of a couple of hours tbh.
There's some good and some bad in this show. Good parts are production, acting and realism with some reservations. Bad ones are sadly the main character who seems to be harming himself on purpose and really not being believable or original. He's just not a good character. Also the writing was somewhat lazy in parts - I mean the bad guys were very skilled and professional and then suddenly they just weren't. The ending of the second episode was just stupid. And the police was suicidal, which was stupid.
Watched this because the presence of Simm is usually a good sign. Not this time. The storyline is laughable, there are plot holes you could drive a bus through and it's packed with formulaic stereotypes.
Don't bother.
Like one reviewer said, sad detective with stupid boss who couldn't find her own ass in a line-up, and enough holes to keep me yelling suggestions at the screen!! If I didn't have the remote to just skip the drivel I'd have given up. That being said ... it has potential. Hire some people to clean up the storyline, ie, check phone records! Keep any eye on suspects. Just simple stuff that even we peons know good cops do. On the good side, we really liked John Simm & Richie Campbell. We'll watch the next part hoping for more of them, better writing and another boss!
