pacanavan's rating
I am a big fan of British detective series, and this one is totally unique. It is the only detective series without a detective. Instead of Holmes and Watson, there is Jonathan Creek (who creates magic tricks for a big time magician) and Maddie (an investigative journalist).
There is humor, and all the typical scenes for a mystery (e.g. interesting characters, eating unusual food, interesting settings, sarcastic comments, sexual tension, etc.) but the solution to the crimes are the best of any series I have ever seen. I have said out-loud while watching an episode, "There can't be any solution to this." And then, once you see the solution, it is so obvious, you can't see how you couldn't figure it out.
Clever, funny, unusual, and unfailingly fascinating, it is a first rate mystery series.
