I am from Edinburgh,I love crime/police dramas. So why do I not like the Stott Rebus series much? I watch them every so often and am always disappointed. I am not gripped by any of the stories. I am not saying the endings are difficult to guess,but I don't care much who did what in these stories. Stott is a fine actor,love him in The Vice but he is unconvincing as Rebus. I am in lockdown and watched the 10 Stott episodes over a few days. The episodes are not well written. Rebus is shown as a football fan and a a man who women find attractive. I have read a few of the Rebus books and Rebus is not a football fan,in the books we can excuse his faults due to him being a great detective. In this series every episode is similar,Rebus is rude to his assistant and his bosses and then solves the case. I prefer the John Hannah series,bigger budget,better stories.
