Season 1 Review: Brodie's cases tend to dwell as much on mysteries of the heart as on the usual blood-and-guts. It's a nice change and a great start to a delightful franchise. Read full review

Season 1 Review: As with many of these European crime yarns, the real fun resides less in the who-or how-dunnit than simply getting there. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Isaacs makes an attractively moody hero, and both the supporting and guest casts are superb. That said, the episodes tend to meander slowly from plot point to plot point. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The pleasant ambience, however, can't entirely obscure the mystery story's inability to deliver. Read full review
