    Very entertaining mystery. .... The actor [Mark Gatiss] is so keenly aware of the limits of his character’s charm. And that in itself is charming.

    Like the best, by which I mean my favorite such series, it’s humorous and fun, while also being human and sad.

    On the whole across the first season, it seems like the show is still finding its footing. The spotty clues about who Jack is to Book and Trottie are handled with less grace than the murder mysteries, but are inherently more compelling, which can make it frustrating that the show takes so long to prioritize them.
