Sky One’s new detective comedy, with a Sci-Fi twist, is a solid hit that replies heavily on the talent of its leading men, and they are able to deliver.
Stephen Graham is now well established as one of British TV’s finest character actors and has starred in some of the best dramas of recent years, and Daniel Mays has also built up a strong reputation over the years, but neither of them are necessarily considered ‘comedic’, but that may change after this.
Following the classic buddy comedy set up, only with the sci-fi twist that one of the detectives was brought back from the dead (this is really the only sci-fi in a other wise standard cop comedy).
The plot focuses on the detectives trying to figure out who Major’s (Mays) killer was, while Carver (Graham) tries to hide something closer to home.
The duo have really good chemistry together and it creates some string comedic moments. It’s far from a classic, but it was an entertaining few episodes to help get through this lockdown period.
Rating = 3/5
