I'm tired of over-emotional detectives - I'm more interested in how they solve crimes rather than to what extent they feel the victim's pain. One of the things I enjoy about Golden Age British crime novels is how reassuringly unemotional the detectives - police or private - are about their cases. The modern tendency to foreground detectives' emotional responses reached absurd heights in the recent ITV series, "Unforgotten" - you wouldn't catch Hathaway or Lewis emoting over corpses, especially 40-year old ones.

I also agree, the new boss cop is wooden.<br />It's been a most enjoyable series....and not a hint of transgender Marxists.Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07191599030795096843noreply@blogger.com
