Professor T

Ben Miller is perfect for this part , the cast is very good they play well off each other . Scenery and photography are great . Hoe this continues for a few more seasons . So few shows worth watching these days.

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.

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.

Professor T is refreshingly good fun - the emphasis is on its quirky character development and detailing which is enhanced with glimpses into the main character's inner surreal world.

The weekly crime setups are good - but this show is more about the journey than the whodunit - with light comedic touches that make the whole thing more likeable.

This series is centred on Professor Jasper Tempest; a criminology lecturer at Cambridge. After a request from police officer, and former student Lisa Donkers, he starts helping the local constabulary with their investigations. He isn't easy to work with; he is obsessed with cleanliness and will say exactly what he thinks which makes him seem rude and insensitive.

I really enjoyed the Belgian original so went into this with some trepidation. It isn't bad but I must say I didn't enjoy it as much as the original. Since the cases are basically the same this might be considered redundant but not everybody likes subtitles and the stories, characters and cases feel right for a light ITV crime drama. The cast does a fine job; Ben Miller is fun in the lead role and Frances de la Tour impresses as his mother. The rest of the cast, playing more 'normal' characters are good too. The cases are interesting and should keep the viewer guessing to the end without being too convoluted. Overall I'd recommend watching the Belgian original but if it is unavailable where you are or you don't like subtitles this is a decent substitute. If more episodes are made I'll tune in.
