This is a mystery series built around a newly retired professor Harry Wild, played by Jane Seymour, and a quirky albeit snarky teenage boy from the wrong side of the tracks named Fergus, played by the wonderful newcomer Rohan Nedd.
This series won me over from episode one! The mysteries are great and the dialogue is fantastic. The supporting cast is wonderful and anything but typical. Harry has a son Charlie who is a guard (police officer), Fergus' dad, who is a low level criminal, seems to know a guy who can just about do anything. Harry's local pub is filled with colorful characters including the owner and a constant bar stool fixture named Glen, who has some of the most ridiculous dialogue!
I really enjoy all of the literary references in the regular banter...Harry establishes early on that she is not your typical "grandmother".
