We found this series on BritBox and decided to give it a try. The first few seasons seemed to us to be an assortment of characters (actors) in search of a storyline, instead of the other way round. It's as if the writers and producers were given the go-ahead to make the show and were unprepared -- and it took them a long time to "catch up" and make the stories even halfway plausible.
However (and I have to mention this), the theme music is horrid. The British must like this stuff, as there have been other British TV shows with execrable music ("Unforgotten", anyone?). Every time we start or end an episode, it's like fingernails on a blackboard to our ears. Thank God for fast forward.
At any rate, we are up to Series 7, so hopefully the show will get better.
