Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Stephen C 6 funny and successful episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Lenny L Loved this show! Season 2 better come out soon. It’s another murder-an-episode show but with an underlying season mystery. Cast is wonderful, cheers to David Mitchell and Anna Maxwell Martin. Lots of heart and humor. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/01/25 Full Review Dave B When your police inspector identical twin goes missing, what does one do? Why step into his shoes, of course. The fact that you are a brainiac puzzle book creator, pen name Ludwig, who lives alone, never married, doesn't drive, and can't bring yourself to make the 90 minute trek to visit your brother's wonderful family because of the upheaval in your daily routine, makes one think that perhaps you aren't the ideal candidate to fill the role, but who else is there? This is one of the best TV series out of the UK recently. It is a brilliant combination of the episodic one mystery per episode combined with the multi-part crime thriller that overlays everything. David Mitchell's performance, as John, is excellent as you see his mind working through his facial expression. There's a lot of comedy here too, as the totally nerdy John surreptitiously takes his brother, James' place at the Cambride Police Force detective office. There are circumstances that make this almost plausible, so don't dwell on that, just watch Ludwig and enjoy as the Cambridge Police arrest numbers go up, and John and his family work to find his missing brother. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/30/25 Full Review Molly P As a decades long fan of British mysteries/detective procedural, costume drama & comedies, I was blown away by this show. It's brilliant! What more is there to say, except I will be waiting anxiously for Season 2. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Nicole Y Dark, funny, heartfelt. A weird way to describe this show but that’s what it is! If you like a weekly whodunit with a seriously good running story, check this out! It’s great!
