Death Valley

I fell asleep before the end, so will have to rewatch it. But not impressed.

The female detective was maddening. I think she was in another poor series with Dawn French, can’t recall the title. Think she played the daughter in law, and didn’t like her in that either.

I also thought it was trying (and failing) to be another ‘Ludwig’.

No way.

Enjoyed it. Never been to Wales, and the scenery in the second episode was beautiful.

Disagree.

Anyone watch it last night? Timothy Spall's new comedy detective series. I was looking forward to this, but found it very disappointing. Rather silly, trying too hard to be funny, annoying characters. Not sure I'll watch the next episode.

Couldn't agree more , Clawdy.
What a waste of the wonderful Timothy Spall ! I was so looking forward to this (thought it might be a bit like David Mitchell's "Ludwig" which I thought was cracking)but after one episode I felt absolutely exhausted. I won't watch another.
The only character I liked was the bloke that played "Dave Coaches" in Gavin and Stacey , who played the young female detective's boss.
Don't mention the young female detective who was exhausting and infuriating to listen to. She gave me a headache !
I thought the Agatha Christie-like exposé at the end difficult to understand and amateurish.
Outside Edge; Auf Wiedersten Pet ....; Sixth Commandment: Mr Turner.....Fungus the Bogeyman ... Sorry Tim you are normally fantastic.
Not keen on his Duke of Norfolk in Wolf Hall (have to say).
You can't win 'em all.

I enjoyed it as very light hearted entertainment.

The trailer for it gave me a clue as to how bad it would be. ☹️

We were looking forward to this but it was very disappointing and we won't be watching any more episodes.

Just what I thought too.

And me. I had an early bath and settled down to watch, but gave up as everyone was so irritating.

I turned it over 10 mins in, just a bit silly.

Different and a light relief from the normal police led dramas.

I shall continue to watch the series.

I loved it. It’s just what we need on a Sunday night. I was a bit sceptical but the acting was good another light hearted who dunnit. Thumbs up for me.
