I like this - then again, Ben Miller is a great comic actor as is Frances de la Tour. The chippy ethnic female is a bit overwhelming, and Inspector Rabbit has the potential for greater scope than the series utilizes.
Still, hope to see more in the future.

I do like this series - the world weary older male cop and the younger female cop learning the often not quite by the regulation manual methods from him. The characters are reasonably believable - Niemans; the older guy, has the megnificent traditional Gallic indifference and cynicism about him. He’s past his best physically, so the foot chases after younger men are a bit beyond credence. However, the damn-your-eyes attitude to miscreants tells you that he is still capableof beating a confession out of someone.

The female - Delaunay - is a bit less credible. She looks like a good gust of wind would blow here away. She stands toe-to-toe with the bad guys and takes a regular beating that would probably kill her in real life. Still, it is better than the arrogant, entitled Mary Sue characters we are currently being force-fed by Hollywood these days.

It’s a good bit of entertainment.

This episode finally killed off my interest in the series. It is simply woke garbage. I was prepared to suspend disbelief until this point - the 90lb female leads throwing around male henchmen twice their size, the obnoxious ‘empowered’ female dwarf with the attitude (ie being rude, but this episode. When trhe mixed-race love interest says to McGyver “I didn’t realise you had noticed the colour of my skin” I nearly fell off my chair, cuz it’s not like she doesn’t shove it down our throats it every episode!

30 Monedas (2020)

5/5 Liked this series - Haven’t really seen any good Spanish Thriller/Drama series since “The Ministry of Time” (which is well worth checking out). There was a huge court battle which decided that the American series “Timeless” (produced by NBC) was a rip off of “The Ministry of Time”.
The premise of the 30 coins paid to Judas Iscariot for ‘betraying’ Jesus is clever. However, they kinda messed up historically - the actual 30 Coins depicted the head of Emperor Nero. Jesus was crucified during the reign of Emperor Tiberius; who predated Nero by about 30 years. That’s my geeky bit for the day over!!
Still, it was enjoyable. The characters did have depth and substance, but there was no real character development throughout what was quite a long series for almost all of them.
