Wolfe

What a refreshing change to get a TV series that's home grown hasn't got a agenda like almost all that come from the USA at the moment and has some good acting and great story lines.

Being a fan of Paul Abbots work, I was so looking forward seeing this, I've binged the whole season & it's watchable, that's about it......

Unlike his other works where you get totally absorbed into the show & characters, I'm sad to say not this time round. It all felt rather disjointed & no character identity.

Will I watch Season 2, sadly no .... it just didn't hit the spot for ne.

I don't know why the production team went with the first scene , I believe it may have been an attempt at comedy but failed to work, at least for me. However, please, please stick with the show as within minutes you are hooked line and sinker. Wolfe (with an E) is a combination of very clever, very funny writing supported by a wonderful cast of characters, excellent cinematography and (for once) great sound editing. I would suggest British show is at least the equal to any top quality US tv production along the lines of such as Dexter etc.

In closing, I highly recommend Wolfe as 2021's 'go to' dark comedy.

I must confess to really enjoying something different, don't enjoy watching the same thing and Wolfe is different. Well written & acted, seems almost spontaneous even when you know it's from a script that's just been skillfully performed. The characters gel when they probably shouldn't. If forensics does need real life to justify their existence this should help. Those giving low ratings clearly only like standard TV fare so they should stick to watching just that. This is excellent TV, up there with the best. Not Silent Witness, nor is it trying to be. Hope there's more seasons.

To watch this show in binge fashion it will take just short of four and a half hours, but it is well worth it. No use giving up after 10 minutes as most of the reviewers have done and writing a bad review just because you didn't like one or other of the actors.

The story line is familiar with other shows, but that doesn't matter, it is still good entertainment. It may be a bit PC, but who cares it is still entertaining.

Having seen many of Paul Abbott's shows this might not be up with the best of them like Shameless and No Offense, which are brilliant, but it compares quite well.

Definitely worth a 7.5-8/10 and I would highly recommend it if you are looking for something interesting to watch.
