I like this show because it isn't the shoot 'em up, everyone is having an affair with someone on the Force type of show, like almost all US cop shows are nowadays.

Every other episode isn't about some terrorist plot (in fact none, so far).

It DOES bear comparing to Midsommer, in the sense that it doesn't take itself too seriously. Good mysteries, without the ridiculous twists and turns. I like the shows where at the end, you can say "yep, that's the bad guy, and looking back, it makes sense how they got there and why he/she did it"

I detest the ones where I end up instead with "WTF?"

It's better than the new Midsommer, with what's his face and what's his name, but I think not as good as the old Midsommers, and not up there with Lewis either. Much better than the old Morse though.

But I like it, and I'm a huge copper show fan (except US ones, though I live here).

Foyle, Lewis, Midsommer, Gently, Frost, Vera

I hope they keep it running. A unique setting, well acted, well written.
