Nice series. Not really a high flyer, but more of the category "easy watching". The short stories per 1 (in season 1) or 2 (in season 2) episodes are well put together with sometimes even a surprising twist towards the denouement. It never gets spectacular but the atmosphere is fine, just like the cast. Adrian Dunbar is just a sympathetic actor and perfect for the role of Alex Ridley. The common thread through the first two seasons, the loss of his wife and daughter, starts to irritate at some point. If there is a season 3, they better leave that out.

With a singing detective on a volunteer basis in the lead role we have something special in this series that I recognize as average in the genre.
There is nothing wrong with it, everything runs smoothly and clearly, but there is no exception in anything.
The acting is also finished.
