Is it for me?
Mystery fans who want a sunny puzzle with no gore will settle in fast. Each case looks impossible, with few suspects and no obvious chance to commit it. Clues go up on a whiteboard until the detective gathers everyone in one room and lays out the answer, with flashbacks. Ben Miller plays Poole with dry, stiff discomfort, a man who treats the heat as a personal insult.
Before you start
Each episode is a self-contained case, so you can start at almost any season opener.
15 seasons, 120 episodes, 60 min each, about 120 hours so far
