Season 1 had such a book ending, I fear what's to come of season 2. Ludwig clearly wasn't intended for a renewal. Anyway. This was a nice whodunnit comfort watch with an over-arcing mystery that became absurdly easy to figure out before the concluding episode but the self-contained smaller mystery episodes were fun.

Mitchell on auto-pilot, lazy writing.

It feels like it was created for David Mitchell's persona, but I like him, so that works for me. I also like the "gather everyone in the library whilst I explain whodunnit" detective shows, so that's another tick for me. Please give Anna Maxwell Martin more to do in series 2.

Good old fashioned family friendly TV but it is just Mark Corrigan as a detective. If you're a fan of David Mitchell you'll have a laugh but not much substance other than that.
