Ludwig

I think it’s OK, but sadly only that, tho it may improve in the second episode.
To me it seems like a copy of Professor T, even set in Cambridge too.

David and Victoria have just had their second child.

Well..it was in October last year. Just checked as I thought you meant another child just now! 😂

Enjoy David Mitchell in everything, am really enjoying it.

Hear, hear,! Yes David Mitchell, there is something about him! He seems like a clever, gentle soul & he has the most marvellous, benign & clever face. No wonder he managed to bag the vivaous & bright Victoria Coren as his wife. 😊

I’m loving it. However ( and this is why I tend not to watch detectives type programmes) as usual I haven’t got the faintest idea what is going on.

Only one episode to go. I love it.

I watched it all - I think it is excellent.

I loved the background music myself. I thought it was an arrangement of various pieces by Beethoven (hence the 'Ludwig'). I found the first episode great fun. It's all a piece of nonsense.

We watched one episode, that was enough.

I really enjoyed this series.
It has obviously been left at a point when another series is probable, I do hope so.

That was my feeling -and hope- too!

Watched episode one last night. Would have binge watched it but had to get up early today so needed to get to sleep. Reminds me of the quirky stuff that Hugo Blik (sp) used to create for tv.

IPlayer has a lot to answer for!
I have a numb bum and have watched all 6 episodes back to back this afternoon and evening.
Half way through episode 6 - getting very dark and exciting! 😱😱

Interesting & funny at times. Schnoodlelove, I too would recommend Astrid, a French series which I watched originally on More4, I think.

As I’ve read so many good reviews , I decided to watch the first episode again.
Still think it’s daft and won’t watch any more.

to be fair Ginster I nearly gave up on the first episode as well, but it does get progressively better.. Maybe go backwards!

Cold -you've answered my query .
I read that Ludwig is like Jonathan Creek , which I love .
So I'll be watching it !

I am enjoying it - it has the Jonathan Creek/Numb3ers vibe of the person who can use skills from another field to solve crimes plus a bit if the Death in Paradise/fish out of water ambience thrown in.

I find it...after three episodes, half really good and half not . Like the silly parking and driving...but sometimes inspired so as someone says here that it gets better..I will keep watching.
There is a very popular genre of neurologically atypical people solving crimes (Astrid and Woo) They are brilliant (French and Korean). And the Good Doctor can be captivating and fun (Canadian). I think they should have gone for it. Its a bit timid on that front. Leaving it a bit unconvincing.

Only really knew David Mitchell as a comic so was surprised to see he was really good. Enjoyed the first episode and will watch the rest. Also been enjoying Chelsea Detective, Nightsleeper and Apples never Fall. Amazing to see a few good things on the TV at once.

Have you not watched Upstart Crow? He's brilliant in that.

Will try and find it, thanks for the tip!

Binge watched the whole series, really enjoyed it. I have never watched anything else with David Mitchell in so went with an open mind.

We have just finished episode three and are really enjoying it. We like David Mitchell and were in the audience for a recording of Upstart Crow. It was quite fascinating to see behind the scenes how it all comes together.

Loved it!

Loved it all…binge watched the lot! Hope there is a second series just my type of TV. David Mitchell and the whole cast are fun and serious at the same time. I love puzzles, and this is a whodunnit within a who dun it!😁😁😁

Excellent, I’m recording it so will look forward to it, I tend to like David Mitchell in anything.Loved Upstart Crow.
