Featured review
A decent enough British remake of a better Belgian series
This series is centred on Professor Jasper Tempest; a criminology lecturer at Cambridge. After a request from police officer, and former student Lisa Donkers, he starts helping the local constabulary with their investigations. He isn't easy to work with; he is obsessed with cleanliness and will say exactly what he thinks which makes him seem rude and insensitive.
I really enjoyed the Belgian original so went into this with some trepidation. It isn't bad but I must say I didn't enjoy it as much as the original. Since the cases are basically the same this might be considered redundant but not everybody likes subtitles and the stories, characters and cases feel right for a light ITV crime drama. The cast does a fine job; Ben Miller is fun in the lead role and Frances de la Tour impresses as his mother. The rest of the cast, playing more 'normal' characters are good too. The cases are interesting and should keep the viewer guessing to the end without being too convoluted. Overall I'd recommend watching the Belgian original but if it is unavailable where you are or you don't like subtitles this is a decent substitute. If more episodes are made I'll tune in.
