Something a ChatGPT or Claude would come up after consuming the entire contents of the Acorn, Britbox, possibly with some White Collar thrown in. Wooden acting by a cast of mostly C-listers - if you see someone you recognize, they'll be the victim, because the show didn't get the budget to keep them for the whole episode. Bloody awful writing, predictable, tedious, with plot twists you see a mile away, with cringey and corny jokes. Basically a Velveeta of crime shows, particularly disappointing because it's trying to climb into the art heist genre, where sophistication isn't just appreciated, it's expected.
It starts a bit slow, but in these crazy times, I'm enjoying this. Liking the fact that there is none of the annoying infighting and yelling with a superior and/or inferior officer(s), it's just the two detectives working and getting along. Except for an extreme asshole of a father, there are no annoying teenage kids, alcoholism, divorces, just a weekly murder related to art.
There is a sweet ongoing romance between the main detective and a colleague which is refreshing given their maturity. And cute that the younger partner can tease him about it.
I was worried that this might be a rip off of the French show, The Art of Murder, a show where a police detective and art historian team up to solve crimes in Paris. The on and off relationship between the two of them and the fact that the detective, from Paris, knows nothing about art and hates it is annoying.
So, Just pour yourself a cup of tea, relax and enjoy this show.

Britbox and Acorn are loaded with odd couple detective series. Quirky/normal; rebel/by-the-book; amateur/professional; old/young, etc. Maybe it all started with the mercurial Holmes and the prosaic Watson. Anglophiles like me will suspend disbelief and go along with most of these tropes. Usually the writing, acting and production qualities are better than a lot of domestic fare.
This time it's a nerdy museum curator-type who wears duffle coats and happens to be one of those Detective Inspectors that seem to be ubiquitous in British law enforcement. He is the sole member of the Heritage Crime department the remit of which includes not just what would be considered "art crimes" but, apparently, any misdeed that might have a picture, statue, song or whatever involved, including good old drawing room-style murders.
In a fairly standard plot device, he pairs up with a young female Police Constable who knows nothing about art but is intuitive and insightful. She becomes a Detective Constable and the department doubles in size.
Like the American NCIS franchise which began as a unit that investigates USN or USMC incidents but degenerated into taking over any crime where the victim had USAA auto insurance, this show jumps right into ignoring whatever mandate the department is supposed to have. Since murders are the funnest crimes to solve our intrepid detecting odd couple jump right in and take charge without a thought of calling in major crimes or the murder squad.
The characters are pleasant enough, if a bit over-written and over-acted. (The DI in his duffle coat almost falls into the river after the DC, who is an expert swimmer and certified sailor suggests they commandeer a rowboat for some forgettable reason.) And the scenery is nice. But the stories are weak. I've watched three episodes and can't remember whodunnit in any of them. I'll keep watching, because I'm one of those Anglophiles. But my expectations have been seriously lowered.

I've watched 4 episodes and it's disappointing. I'm a big fan of British crime dramas, but the stories so far haven't grabbed me. It's a light crime drama led by a serious actor Stephen Moyer, so I expected more. This definitely isn't a "Grace" or even a "Chelsea Detective and not quite a "Shakespeare and Hathaway". Set someplace outside of London, but actually filmed in Ireland, the locations are great.
The character of DC Malik doesn't really work, she acts like she's an equal with DI Palmer when she doesn't have his rank, police experience or art education. That's down to the poor writing. A crime unit of two people really doesn't work, like this series really doesn't work.
The concept of art detectives has so many possibilities, but the plots and dialog just don't match the concept. There are so many great directions this series could go in terms of art and fraud besides murder. If there is a second series I hope the writing improves.

Finally a mystery without a lot of side drama dragging it down. This series has intelligence, good plots and pacing. The two leads, Stephen Moyer (DI Palmer) and Nina Singh (DC Malik) balance each other nicely. As others have pointed out leaving out the tired subplots of troubled/maverick/sex with as many coworkers as possible detectives is very refreshing. Using a backdrop of crimes that connect to the art and collectible worlds adds a layer of interest to the stories. In each of the episodes the supporting cast of local police & suspects have been solid. Well done Acorn! May Art Detectives have a long run.
