Something about the Darren Boyd - Adeel Akhtar interaction struck me as overdone and hammy. But generally plot of missing girl, government cover-up and seedy private eye firm is intriguing - a bit of Strike to it, a bit of Slough House. Ah - it's from a Mike Slow Horses Herron novel (his first, one of a series of four), adapted by Morwenna Banks in eight episodes. And I'm not sure it's that well written. The 'funny' bits aren't funny and it suffers from an uncertainty of tone.
Emma Thompson looks great in silver hair and leathers.
With Ruth Wilson and some other people. Who are Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Fehinti Balogun, Sinead Matthews (The Boat That Rocked, Pride and Prejudice), Tom Goodman-Hill, Tom Riley, Ken Nwosu.
It's not really a TV programme it's an Apple!
It's not really Oxford but Bristol!
