Des (2020)
Not Gripping
Not really very gripping unfortunately. It is an interesting story but somehow it does not really come alive on the screen. What has been really striking is the amount of people who were calling for David Tennant to get a Bafta when the first episode was only halfway through. I think one of the things that demonstrates is that the programme does not really draw the viewer in, and people are concentrating on the acting instead. I do not even think Tennant's acting is the best in the show.
Strike (2017)
Disappointing
Really thought this series was going to be worth watching but I am not enjoying it. It has an interesting hero in Strike played by a good actor in Thom Burke and I thought it would turn into a gripping murder mystery. It doesn't at all, its become a romantic drama with the crimes as a sort of backdrop. It didn't need all the clichéd stuff and its disappointing because it looked like it was going to be a bit quirky and different. Its ok to have romance in the story, but it cant BE the story and still be a crime series. Great theme tune though
