Ludwig… anyone watched it?

[xxlshirts_fit_all]

On last episode now…

Its one of the best crime shows I’ve seen.. and funny too..

David Mitchell is fantastic in it, as is Anna Maxwell Martin…

The murder stories are a bit formulaic but I think it’s intentional and part of the story arc… if you do watch it, overlook that and stick with it…

Will definitely give it a watch, I do like DM's humour.

Watched episode one and our lass has yet to declare whether or not we like it.

 

[xxlshirts_fit_all]

Thought I was going to be disappointed with the end there…
Obv left it open for a second series but not obviously…
And didn’t rush to wrap up loose ends…
Very well done all round..

Thought this was going to be a thread about the 1970s children's cartoon series.

I remember that being completely bonkers.

It’s gentle detective humour. A bit like Death in Paradise, but funnier.

 

[The_Tiler]

Just finished it. Reminded me of the Johnathan Creek series.

Simple TV, but enjoyable. Look forward to the new series.

 

[BoroMart]

2 episodes in, fab

 

[Wellingred]

Seen them all, really enjoyed them. As previously mentioned it reminds me of Death in Paradise, Jonathan Creek and Monk.

Watched first 2 this afternoon, enjoyed

 

[The Card Cheat]

David Mitchell is pretty much a British to icon now isn’t he? Brilliant in this, though I think he’s basically playing himself.

 

[uncle_rico]

I’ve only seen the first one but enjoyed it.

He’ll always be Mark Crorrigan though.

 

[wyliefan]

Thought it was very clever and expert casting, loved it and hope they make some more.

 

[wyliefan]

Agree it's similar to Death in Paradise too.
A couple more detective/murder mystery shows I've come across this year that are really good are:-
Mcdonald and Dodds
and
The Chelsea Detective

 

[uncle_rico]

I'm hoping Karl Pilkington pops up, but doesn't seem to be in the credits.

Anyone else old enough to think this thread would be about this:

the Sian Gibson Johnny Vegas Drapers Tours series is quite good. Similar comedy detective series. more bias on comedy, as some of it is a bit daft, but very entertaining. it doesnt seem to come up as a series on Iplayer
you have to search the individual episodes

As cameos go, it was as brief as they come…
