monolithguy's rating
I did not read the book - so went into this first episode devoid of expectations and was very pleasantly surprised. I was also a bit surprised by what seemed to be a lower than expected rating for this title on IMDB - this show, in my opinion, was a very unique and welcome addition to like Whodunits and Murder mysteries - the acting is very well done, casting fantastic, costume and set design magnificent, and the storyline is doled out in such a way as to pull you along, unwary to the end, when the fish is landed and the lines tied up. No hint of low budget here, and some fine camera work to boot. As a period piece - I find it solid and extremely absorbing - I have thus far seen 3 of the 4 shows and have been enthralled. Mr Whicher is not to be confused with Sherlock Holmes - he is a very genuine and fallible human being - he has a knack for the occupation and a natural talent for it - plus his own demons that drive him on. I think it makes for a great watch - can't help but hope that another installment may be on the horizon. Such a shame that there were only 4 episodes made.
