Ok I'm five episodes in so probably shouldn't be calling it.
There's a bit to like.
The actual whodunnit is mildly intriguing.
The pommy detective is head and shoulders above the rest of the cast.
The Aussie lead detective is just dreadful. Probably not completely the actors fault though. She starts out as every cliche ridden caricature you could imagine and pretty much stays there.
What really annoys me though is the lack of reality in the day to day situations. We are supposed to believe that the leader of the opposition in the middle of an election campaign has 3 hours to spend at the beck and call of some strumpet every night in one city. Then there's meant to be a big trade agreement. FFS have the writers not heard of caretaker mode?
