I was surprised and delighted to discover this series. I don't usually watch older SD shows on BritiBox; they just don't have the resolution to enjoy. But Griffiths is such a fine actor and most of the cast are interesting and entertaining. Not perfect of course but one of the better detective shows of the 90's.
Too often the scripts call for good people, like Henry and his cohorts, to be bullied while they just smile through and rarely fight back. It's fine with the wonderful Malcolm Sinclair as the epitome of the vacuous, pompous, dull-witted Henry's boss but too many other bullies dominate the episodes. The relationship between Henry and Margaret begins to seem too strained by season three. Perhaps something happened between the actors? In any case, one of the better scripted and acted shows from Britbox.
