    As a disclosure I must say I love everything that Martin Clunes does, from "William and Mary" to "Doc Martin" . So nice to see him in something quite different, a fact based mystery involving Arthur Conan Doyle. The beauty of most mystery/police dramas from the UK, unlike those from the US, is the exploration of the personal lives and personalities of the main characters and A&G does aAs a disclosure I must say I love everything that Martin Clunes does, from "William and Mary" to "Doc Martin" .

The beauty of most mystery/police dramas from the UK, unlike those from the US, is the exploration of the personal lives and personalities of the main characters and A&G does a beautiful job of this. Having only seen the first episode I am very much looking forward to the rest of the mini-series and know I will not be disappointed.… Expand

    A memorable drama with a fascinating mystery at its core, Arthur & George also provides an illuminating, realistic portrait of an era that is often overromanticized on TV.

    The Conan Doyle of this series has considerable charm as played by Mr. Clunes, though that takes some time to emerge from the effects of episode one.

    Their chemistry [Martin Clunes and Charles Edwards], and the quality of the production design (the settings include stately homes, factories and grubby farms), are the show’s best offerings. The mystery is overly complicated, with a twist that’s clumsily telegraphed in the first episode, and the theme of racial prejudice against the “half-caste” Edalji, while central to the story, is hit upon more heavily than is good for the drama. But there’s just enough Sherlockian fun to make the case for Arthur & George.
