Ridley

I love Adrian Dunbar, but this series is plodding and derivative. Writing is not stellar. Bronagh Waugh is a TERRIBLE actress, and not an attractive character. There is absolutely nothing that grabs the viewer. The initial episode does not make us care about the victim or any of the other characters--in fact, most of the characters are actively not likeable--why should I as a viewer want to spend time with any of these people? The lighting of the opening scenes is so dark it's hard to tell what is going on, which is not bad in itself, but a mistake when it lasts for more than a few seconds at a time when the audience is trying to become engaged with the story and the characters. I am not one who typically gives up on shows, but my husband and I agreed that this is one we'll not be continuing.
