I was bored!
Rebus
This was largely a formulaic detective series. Whilst we had some committed acting that was convincing it was all so overly contrived.
On top of the stereotypes we had a whole raft of kitchen sink dramas that ate away at any narrative impetus that was frustrating. Just to give a couple of example of bizarre inserts, Michael's wife was a nurse, I have never known a poor qualified nurse or doctor and I worked in the NHS for 20 years. In addition Michael had a job as delivery driver, perhaps on the minimum wage of £23k, but the nurse suggested a food bank. This drip, drip drip of issues was just misplaced not to mention her accusation her friend wasn't one of them now as she had come into money, as if money defines a person. I thought this was very poor script writing.
Just everything revolved around family it was just to much, particularly when they were all so horrible to each other.
I'm giving this a 5 outta 10, this was a reboot that didn't need making.
