Acorn TV always seem to have a cleaned up pristine view of London. A picture postcard image to drive up those foreign sales. They did the same with London Kills.
Going by the first episode, Inspector Morse seems to be an inspiration.
Detective Inspector Max Arnold (Adrian Scarborough) does not drive a classic car or loves a pint of real ale. He is more of a bike and coffee man. His cop partner DS Priya Shamsie has returned from maternity leave and has trouble adjusting to work and home life.
Both are called in to investigate the death of Andrew Knightley. It looked like a suicide at first, he seemingly jumped in front of a tub train. CCTV footage indicated that he was pushed.
Knightley was a troubled and traumatised man. His wife had recently died and he seems to want to punish himself for something that happened in the past.
The detectives diligently follow up the clues and interrogate suspects. One of them lives with his aunt and surreptitiously sells valuable first editions on ebay.
The first episode has a whole host of suspects with plenty of clues and red herrings. Arnold is on the right side of quirky without overdoing the angst. He parks his bike in front of his father's now closed bookshop. Upset at his wife over a coffee machine.
It was a surprisingly pleasant and enjoyable first episode.
