    I was REALLY hoping Houdini and Doyle would be interesting and funny, in the venerable tradition of the X-Files. Instead it was just more mind-numbing "social justice" preaching. It was both repellant and boring at the same time.

    A dusty, ghostly imitation--theme-park TV at its most square and earnest. [6 May 2016, p.50]

    Though lightly entertaining, the series needs a bit more character grounding. So far Weston and Mangan are quite good as the flamboyant famous characters, but the scripts will have to flesh them out more. That may never happen.

    Unfortunately, the mix for Doyle too often also includes “dim-witted,” thanks to the script, and “lethargic,” thanks to an unenthusiastic performance from the usually more animated Mangan.
