    Don't understand the 6.4 rating

    There are so many great reviews on here I don't get the 6.4 rating?

    This was great. I binged all 6 as wanted to see what happened each episode.

    It's cleverly written , good acting and Wolfe is witty , so clever but watching him struggle with his mental health was hard at times. It makes him real though. The rest of the team all add to the program too. You can sense the family they have built themselves. Didn't take a genius to figure out D was upto something though. Hopefully there will be a season 2.

    PLEASE ignore the first 5 minutes then bask in 5 hours of utter joy

    I don't know why the production team went with the first scene , I believe it may have been an attempt at comedy but failed to work, at least for me. However, please, please stick with the show as within minutes you are hooked line and sinker. Wolfe (with an E) is a combination of very clever, very funny writing supported by a wonderful cast of characters, excellent cinematography and (for once) great sound editing. I would suggest British show is at least the equal to any top quality US tv production along the lines of such as Dexter etc.

    In closing, I highly recommend Wolfe as 2021's 'go to' dark comedy.

    Great story lines

    What a refreshing change to get a TV series that's home grown hasn't got a agenda like almost all that come from the USA at the moment and has some good acting and great story lines.

    It's no Shameless nor No Offence

    Being a fan of Paul Abbots work, I was so looking forward seeing this, I've binged the whole season & it's watchable, that's about it......

    Unlike his other works where you get totally absorbed into the show & characters, I'm sad to say not this time round. It all felt rather disjointed & no character identity.

    Will I watch Season 2, sadly no .... it just didn't hit the spot for ne.

    Four and a half hours

    To watch this show in binge fashion it will take just short of four and a half hours, but it is well worth it. No use giving up after 10 minutes as most of the reviewers have done and writing a bad review just because you didn't like one or other of the actors.

    The story line is familiar with other shows, but that doesn't matter, it is still good entertainment. It may be a bit PC, but who cares it is still entertaining.

    Having seen many of Paul Abbott's shows this might not be up with the best of them like Shameless and No Offense, which are brilliant, but it compares quite well.

    Definitely worth a 7.5-8/10 and I would highly recommend it if you are looking for something interesting to watch.
