Professor T

I didn't see the Belgium original series and I'm glad for that, now I can enjoy the British take on it, without spoilers. It's a perfect cast, I love their acting and how they interpret the characters. The filming is superb and has a fantastic scene composition. Also has a good soundtrack, attention to set details and overall design. It gets better with each new episode, don't be discouraged by the simple crime plot of the first episode, keep watching and you will be rewarded. I can't wait for season 2. For me it's a solid 9, I think talent like this,both on filming and acting, must be recognized.

To start off, I have not seen the original series, so my views are not influenced by the fact that this is a remake.

On the whole, it's a very good series, very enjoyable, a good mix of drama, mystery and humour. For my money the first and fifth episode are the best of the series, two real highlights.

Clever stories, enough to get you using your little grey cells, Part one in particular is intriguing.

I loved the acting, Ben Miller is marvellous, he really brings The Professor to life, he's quirky, he's smart, and he's committed to getting the truth. Frances de la Tour is phenomenal as Jasper's mother, she's such a good actress, check out her scenes with Sophie in Part 5.

Let's hope a second series follows, we have a lot to learn, in particular what happened at the end of Episode six.

Well worth a watch, 8/10.

I love Ben Miller as an actor, in the series "death in paradise", he is splendid, but, compared to the Belgian version, in which a Koen De Bouw absolutely shines, you really think he has that disorder, the second you see him in scene, you know that something is not going well, he knows perfectly how to move between reality and madness, he is also supported by enormous secondary actors such as the actress Goele Derick who plays his secretary, the actor Carry Goossens his college colleague or the actor Herwig Ilegems who acts as a police officer.

I can only say that after seeing the sublime Belgian version, the British version is way behind.

In Murder in Paradise Ben Miller was this quirky policeman with a big brain and no social finesse. Great show. In Professor T he repeat that performance. But now as an eccentric crime academic. With no social finesse and strange behavior. It works this time also. But I miss him in Murder. Better role. Emma Naomi is also really good. Well, I have seen the original Belgian Professor T. Its not better than the British cover but is a bit warmer. Hope for a new season.

This is a fairly straight remake of the much-liked Belgian show from 2015 which ran to three series and can be found on ALL4.

Ben Miller was an excellent choice to play the quirky sometimes petulant criminal psychologist Professor Jasper Temple and nails the part. The show is strongly cast with a mix of new faces and old stalwarts like the wonderful Frances de la Tour playing his crotchety old Mother.

The first episode has quite a bit of setup work to do and the crime plot itself is therefore a bit straightforward. The series improved as it went on. I thought it was very well directed and beautifully photographed and the score was also lovely.

The writing was intelligent and assured by Malin-Sarah Gozin who created & wrote another dark and interesting Belgian Series, Tabula Rasa.

I'd give it a solid 8/10 after watching all six episodes. The show gets better as it develops and there is an interesting backstory for the Professor that unfolds slowly. Look forward to another series.

If you loved and watched the original it's not going to be for you as they've recycled the same plots - if you haven't give it a go, it's an above average watch with imaginative quirks and high production values.
