Nice mix of complexity was fun to follow.

I found the over the hill rock stars more realistic than when S10 E4 "Midsommer Murders"" The Axeman Cometh had a similar theme. That was only a mediocre 6 of 10 rating for me. There it was a lot of "Hey man" and stereotypes with bad overacting. These band members were very believable who looked liked they've over indulged with 5 miles of rough road faces to prove it.

The story was very entertaining to keep up with the many twists and turns. Simon Callow as Vernon Oxe nailed the part of the uppity arrogant flamboyant jerk. Should of been a clue when he got hung up on calling music people in California. Also, highlights were pretty actresses Perdita Weeks as Kitten and Isobel Middleton as Samantha Wheeler. The in tears appearances of Daniel Kaluuya as Declan were abrupt and his friendship with Lucas shoehorned in coming out of nowhere.

Terrific intense ending unraveling the villian's dirty deeds. Twin sibling revelation is a British detective mystery staple that worked well here. Lewis back to his own hairline after toupee shuffling.
