Without the Scandi style, the whole lark – quite gory at times – feels inferior to the original.
The programme’s downfall was its occasional paint-by-numbers narrative beats, and there were a few too many coincidences. Still, it was terribly good fun – let’s say exemplary of a newly coined genre, Bristol Noir.
When Lesley Sharp stars in something it behoves you to watch. Although I'm not sure her character, weather-beaten detective Hannah, who was having an affair with Sean, is very convincing.
Despite all the brilliant work we have all seen Sharp, Regan and Ward do over the years, and perhaps because of the script, the acting is poor from the protagonists. It is also downright woeful from peripheral characters.
