This feels like a Harrow school play version of Sherlock Holmes. Big budget, bad actors and everyone is too bloody posh. While this would be a decent school production, it’s pretty bad as an actual tv show. The acting is as wooden as it comes, it makes Waterloo Road look good, and every damn person speaks like they had elocution lessons. The odd publican speaks like they’re actually from London, but the lions share of people from all social strata speak with a plum in their mouth. The London geography is also abysmal, every landmark is within 500m of each other. And there are bridges everywhere, like so many bridges. This feels like the bridgerton-ed version of Sherlock. Or maybe the sex education version. No one has tried to make the set, clothing, accents or characters the least bit realistic, but it doesn’t seem bothered by that. If you just want an angsty teenage drama set somewhere vaguely old and ‘British’, that you can stick on in a doctors surgery to get rid of the silence, then it’s perfect.
