I read and watch a fair amount of mysteries and crime stories. And yet this series did not grip me at all. To be fair I started watching at Season 3 due to streaming limitations. It opened with Rebus trying to reach a girl friend who is ignoring his calls. I thought here we go again. The make detective as someone who cannot be housebroken (maintain intimate significant relationship). He is rumpled and hard drinking, goes against the brass, etc etc.
But even moving past that stereotype, the stories themselves were just not clicking or interesting. I haven't read the books so maybe I would like them better.
