Great series to pick up once in a while, with an entertaining mystery. Not grand and amazing, but enough to keep you enthralled.
The acting is hit and miss; for example the older male detective is doing well, his German female colleague on the other hand.. ai.
Furthermore, a solid crime series that is lighthearted at times, such as the rural atmosphere of Midsomer Murders, but also quite exciting at times. A combination that does not feel completely successful, but forward.

Actually not that good in the genre. Fairly entertaining as a snack, but no more. A number of characters are interesting (the psych), but most are not, or even annoying. The story feels a bit standard, doesn't really want to be exciting despite trying its best. Big pharma stuff seen many times.
The biggest flaw and the reason why I ultimately give it a failing grade: the completely pointless, forced and extremely annoying private drama-love moments: between Bobby and the quacker, but above between the 2 cops (and his crush cop and guy). Doesn't add anything to the crime story, only drags it down.

Quite a lot is happening here. Soapy? Check, but actually quite interesting, even though it sometimes gets in the way of the basic story. Funny? Meh, more like inspectors getting along well, but using (gallows) humor to make the raw edges of the misery they have to deal with manageable.
The case itself is also interesting, done before and certainly better, and especially towards the end I found it sometimes too confusing, sometimes too easy. I recently saw the actor playing Bobby a few times as a likeable sidekick in A Touch of Frost; he does a good job, but in real life he (Bobby) would surely have been sent 'on leave' much earlier…
A solid 6, because I think there was (much) more potential… or rather: there was so much potential that it didn't come across well in just 8 episodes.
