DOWN CEMETERY ROAD. Apple+

[jeezifonly]

After the final episode of SLOW HORSES, we were directed by the app to this new series. Good actors, less-than-stunning script for ep1, IMO. But, I do love a knighted dame in black leather, and generally a fan of PI drama, so I shall give it a few episodes. Anybody else have it on the radar?

I'm two episodes in.  So much table-setting in Episode 1 that I thought about bagging the show, but I clicked through to Episode 2, which seemed to have MORE table-setting but then ends with a clever-enough surprise that I'm in for at least one more episode.  I'm not enjoying the gritty, profane Emma Thompson as much as I enjoy more genteel versions of her.  

P.S.  For those who don't know the connection between this show and Slow Horses, they're each based on a series of novels by Mic Herron, an English writer.  I think the Slow Horses spy novels are both funnier and better plotted than the novels with private detective Zoe Boehm (that's the Emma Thompson character), but I'm still hoping for a good series.
