In this era of hardly ever being able to turn on almost any television programme be it drama,comedy,even daytime shows such as This Morning and Loose Women without sex the main focus to get attention then I'm afraid I'm going to be in a sad minority of really enjoying something that is obviously not to be taken seriously but nonetheless has entertainment enough in the dynamics between two very different,very handsome guys who are neither full of ego or muscle....simply gradually working toward a friendship that was not easily attained at first but is definitely growing because of their intertwining adventures bringing them both into both dangerous and also at times,hilarious predicaments.
I have to impress upon anyone taking time to read my review that I'm VERY far from being a prude....I've watched and been enthralled with the entire six series of GOT....loved Breaking Bad...currently watching House of Cards and Versailles...adored Happy Valley,Line of Duty et al.
However,I have mind enough to recognise a wonderful bit of escapism and bromance which is watchable by pretty much anyone without causing offence and embarrassment if a family settle down for an evening together; let's face it,that is becoming increasingly difficult now.
Surely there is room enough with all the many,many channels available and online viewing,too to make the odd hour available for some outlandish,fun,attractive guys bringing smiles and heartwarming moments during their adventures!
If I'm alone in this,I really don't mind.....but I hope that by some magic both actors and others who genuinely agree with me might just read this and nod their heads even if only in quiet acceptance!
What's not to like??! Two handsome,utterly likable men get into scrapes during their investigations and are gradually,grudgingly forming a friendship that is obviously going to be cemented eventually.
One has twinkling eyes and a truly engaging,winning smile...the other,dark brown serious eyes,the kindest of hearts and intelligence that more than aids in every case.
Both more or less pretend to themselves they're unsure of the other,especially Rash...but in truth they are so drawn in on every investigation that it all intrudes upon their personal lives,too.
A great little series and leaves you feeling good. That means success so I suppose it also means the death knell once the series finishes.....not hard enough,violent enough,"realistic" enough. Ho hum........
