Shetland: Episode #8.1 (2023)
Don't really care for the new tone
I was a big fan of the series up to now. Binge watched the whole series a couple of times. Now that Doug is gone, I was a bit sceptical that it would work as well. So I was willing to watch with the new DCI, not sure about her yet. She's a bit broody, but maybe that was just for this episode being a character builder. I also can't say as I like the new tone...trashy foul language and all. The last seasons did very well without it and I agree with a previous reviewer...foul language isn't necessary to make a good series. Not sure I'll be keeping up with this series any longer. I really had to force myself to watch this first episode all the way through.

Still trying to decide....
While I have always enjoyed a thrilling, action-packed British mystery series, I'm still trying to decide whether or not I'm goung to keep this one on my regular viewing list. The series, so far, is good enough....great story line, action packed without the usual bloody gore seen in many American crime/mystery series, but with some lighthearted humor here and there, I'm not seeing the necessity of the use the "F" bomb??? We really enjoy watching many British Crime mystery dramas, created within the last several decades, and we enjoy them because the language used (even in the heat of the most tense moments) isn't an issue. Why is this necessary in this new series? Call me old fashioned, and yes, I'm a middle aged woman, but that kind of language isn't necessary to carry a great drama.

Meh
While I usually love Hallmark Christmas movies, even though Hallmark does the same senario a million times, I always love watching Rachel Boston. She and her bubbly attitude are so delightful to watch. However, this one was notgetting it for me. Neal Bledsoe's fake accent is just too much. Obviously fake. He was trying to hard to sound authentic. If Hallmark insists on doing yet another Royal movie, please get a true Brit to play the part.
