Hugely Average
John Simm is always worth watching even in something like this, it's pretty much the ITV formulaic Cop show and I did not expect too much more from it but, it just never rises above average really. One review complained about it being PC because there are black people and women in positions of power, to that reviewer I say, grow up, and accept the wonderfully diverse world we should be embracing and promoting instead of whining and being small minded (or worse) about the fact the world isn't all about white men. Two things that brought this show down were the ludicrous need to have a "medium" involved, what rational human being would have something so clearly absurd as a part of the storyline, and the poor writing in making the cliched boss standing in the way of the 'great detective', it's such a boring, overused, and hackneyed, part of the storyline.
Had potential...
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!
Unexpectedly good.
I came across this almost by accident and watched both season 1 episodes in one sitting. There were are a few of the usual stereotypes, but overall it was quite good, and kept my attention throughout. Well paced and well acted. It's possible to make a serious, enjoyable drama without graphic sex scenes and constant unnecessary cussing (although I know there are some viewers who need those elements to make something "edgy" and "real"). I'd be happy to watch season 2 when it comes out.
A new crime drama set in Brighton
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.

An impressive show.
With Endeavour ending, and only Vera in the arsenal for grown up Sunday night drama, ITV may just have found their new long standing hit.
The books are amazing, I truly recommend you reading them if you like a good mystery, and although John Simm isn't perhaps the character from the book that I had in my mind, but he makes it work, he is a tremendous actor.
Superb production values, it's very slick, and well made.
Credit to the team for getting it made during the Pandemic, and for making it to such a high standard.
Itv have given us a few flops in recent times, this one however, is a winner. More please. 8/10.
