Trying REALLY really hard to like this. The plots are ok. But not working for me in general. Lewis just can't drive a show. Buuuummmer!! I don't see the same kind of chemistry with this new duo.
The sidekick doesn't look so much sullen as tired, bored of being there and just all around unremarkable. He's the educated one, a la Morse?, and it would have been nice to present the kid as Morse-as-a-young-man thing. If that's what they're trying to do, they're failing miserably. There's none of Morse's fire in him, none of that puzzle-solving desire that drove him, how he's curious about the work even though he's a reluctant copper. Colin Dexter still made his cameos in both shows I saw, so he must still be advising, so???
Disappointing.
