Watchseries; The series is very intense, it brings together psychological elements, and an observational style which I imagine was part of the training and experience of top old school inspectors. It really stretches the mind of the viewer, in a good way. You feel you learn things. It feels like an intellectual experience, and it also has a sort of understated humour that makes it even more unique. The characters are complex, the whole thing is rounded, not schematic. Good piece of TV. Wonder if they will continue it at the same level, or at all.

McDonald and Dodds watchseries. An ambitious, strong DCI lead with a rather quiet and slow-thinking sergeant who is near retirement. Two different characters make a good duo. Due to the lack of good quality crime script writers in Japan, this drama is much better than what we normaly see here. Many of British murder and mystery tv series are well-made. The landscapes of Bath had changed since I was living in UK from the 80's to 90's. But still, the historical town looks so beautiful and inviting.
Not to be taken too seriously, a bit of fun on a Sunday evening. The two main characters would drive you mad if you knew them, having a sneaky dig at the go getting career feminist and the time serving middle aged white male?The Dysonesque character was similarly lampooned.
I throughly enjoyed the first episode. Sound if predictable plot. Great locations & fab back ground music - shades of Morse!
This is a great show with awesome 'chemistry' between the leads. you will enjoy this show and when you finish you will want more. I so enjoyed this classic 'who done it' style of murder mystery. Sit down get a cup of whatever you fancy and enjoy.
What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday evening. Love the character Dodds a methodical police officer, McDonald a an officer who needs everything now and to progress her career. It is fun, good characters and good story
