Is it for me?
Pick this up for a case-of-the-week hour with a new family, a clock and a team bending the rules. It stays familiar rather than surprising. In one early case the team poses as famous soccer players to coax pupils' addresses out of school staff. Luke Roberts plays Eric calm and private, with some grief he keeps to himself.
Before you start
Each episode closes its own kidnapping, while the team's backstories fill in gradually across a season, so watching in order helps a little.
3 seasons, 39 episodes, 60 min each, about 39 hours so far
