I guess that not many people have watched this. I sat through the lot and it's not a raving success at all unfortunately. It's a police procedural that relies on superstition and signals from the ether on many occasions to move forward. Added to that, the goodies are meant to deduce clues from the main protagonist's books which we have no access to because they're imaginary to this series. So this isn't a detective story to derive pleasure from by working out whodunnit. Indeed, the nutter is blindingly obvious from episode two and revealed in episode four so the programme becomes an exercise in signs and portents to reveal the whereabouts of the miscreants.

There were a couple of subplots that had a vague interest - a closeted gay affair, an unknown father. However, these had little bearing or influence on the main plot.

I'd say give it a watch if one has loads of time and wants to switch off one's brain entirely. Otherwise watch a couple of good films instead.
