I've always hated how the Inspector role is so blah. Poor guy's job is just to be grouchy about the Father constantly outshining him at his own job, and bitterly obstruct the Father's efforts to solve the cases. Over and over. No growth. Tiresome enough to watch, must be misery for the actor. But finally they wrote a script that lets him ACT! I am happy for him. And he did a great job. But it was sad that at the end he returned to being just a jerk who gets in the way, like Cinderella's ball gown going back to rags lol.
The friendship between the motley crew is touching and funny as always. I am delighted to see the chauffeur Sid back as one of the leads! Instead of just a couple guest spots a year. He is possibly my favourite character. I love how he has a scummy side but also is super honorable. I guess eventually they will explain his gig... is he still driving for the Lady, and if so why have we not seen her?
I'm on my third ep this season and they are all great. I think the writers used the hiatus to polish the scripts extra well? It is simply better, not more melodramatic or freaky or anything "shark jumpy" like that, just a better version of the usual.
The gorgeous gardens and comfy homes that create such an enjoyable atmosphere... ah how I have missed them during the pandemic! And the mysteries are interesting, the Father's wisdom uplifting. It's just such a good show all around! While some shows run out of steam after a few seasons, this one still brings their A game every time!
