I’m on the fence about this one. Like one of the main characters but despise the other. Other gonna-be regs aren’t yet fleshed out in any way. I was hoping for a Scott & Bailey vibe, or maybe Happy Valley, or even Unforgotten or Endeavour—but no. Nothing of that caliber as yet. We’ll see.

There’s no reason to compare this (“nothing of that caliber”) to the four somber mysteries you mentioned; it was apparent right away that this wasn’t that sort of show.

This is a cozy — a lighthearted murder mystery, like Midsomer Murders, New Tricks, Brokenwood, etc. It’s a totally different genre, so this needs to be judged by different criteria.
