[TV] Ludwig (BBC iPlayer)

[Eric the meek]

There's a certain darkness about it. It's probably intentional, what with it being about murders, and a lot of it is filmed at night, or in churches, or the gloomy police station.

I'm trying to think what it reminds me of. It was something made to give the feel of the fifties, slightly other-worldly.

 

[Steve in Japan]

I've only watched one so far, but it's decent enough. It's the television equivalent of Richard Osman's books.

More comedy than gritty procedural.

 

[Morvangull]

I find it an easy watch as it has relatively straight forward plots and it is along the same lines as 'the Chelsea detective' starring Adrian Scarborough that I have been streaming via 'U'

 

[Farehamseagull]

I’ve not watched it but my other half binged all 6 episodes in no time and is now watching it again! She loved it, obviously.

 

[Kosh]

It reminds me of Life on Mars.. it’s pretty ridiculous, but in a brilliant way… no time travel/afterlife/purgatory but it has an offbeat element that LOM had in spades…

Think I might dig out LOM and watch it again, for the awesome soundtrack if nothing else, oh and Gene Hunt obviously.

Not sure how anyone can dislike Mitchell… he’s brilliant at what he does…

 

[Professor Plum]

Finally got round to watching this. Utterly preposterous plot with more holes in it than a cheese grater. You have to ‘go with it’ and accept it on its own terms or you’ll end up shouting at the TV about one about one ludicrous twist after another.

 

[Giraffe]

I loved it. Harmless fun with a decent plot that keeps you interested. A good 8/10 and I’m looking forward to a second series.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

We watched it here and we (my wife and I) both really enjoyed it.

 

[Bozza]

Is it Jonathan Creek-ish? Asking for a friend.

 

[The Clamp]

Is it Jonathan Creek-ish? Asking for a friend.

Not a million miles away. I liked it.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

I lasted half the first episode.

Same for me.

I like a good TV detective drama series but this was way too Mr Bean for me.

Just not my cuppa tea ....
