Decided not to continue after reading the recent reviews, Jeremy Bowkett’s was especially helpful.

Very entertaining and full of intrigue. ( tiny spoiler alert-) However, there are too many implausible turns- like episode 4, Baptist’s discovering the lost money via a suspect who had nothing to do with the theft. But our detective’s suspect just happens to have private voyeur cameras with the actual thief is coincidently filmed in one of his surveillance sites. Then, Baptiste’s incredible naive choice leads to losing the money again. To solve the crime, he again uses the camera, this time miraculously retrieved from the dumpster In the season finale. Tom Hollander’s acting helps the quality but not enough to save this haphazard series. He and Baptiste’s final conversation leave us wanting an improved season 2. Since his work is done, Hollander will not be back with Baptiste for that. But we Masterpiece lovers will likely be there for more unlikely action and outcomes.

Excellent sets and cinematography and good adaption. The best reason is to see fine performance of emerging actress Millie Bobby Brown

The review below is well done. I agree excellent characters and relationally dynamic. Pace moves quickly and holds one’s attention. Plots often far fetched.

As Robert says in his review, I plan to watch the 3D version. Saw previews on tv and lead me to this site for reviews to verify my impressions of quality work
