Oh dear, oh dear! Where do I start? I'm a big fan of Ms Jobert but what on earth induced her to take the lead in this when she doesn't even appear to be the main character!? It's also very formulaic. Let's see if we've seen it all before! We've got a chief of police, his assistant chief (Jobert), a fish out of water and doesn't want to be there detective, and three chummy officers. Yes, we've seen it before in the UK. It's called Death in Paradise and Saint-Pierre is just a clone of that. There seems to be no on screen chemistry between the two leads and despite being the "name" on the cast list, Jobert is relegated to a secondary role beside the new unhappy detective. Won't be watching any more.

Well I thought that it seemed a strong cast but oh dear, oh dear! What induced Kevin McKidd and James Cosmo to take part in this mish mash? The plot is so convoluted that I don't think the cast even understood it. The sub plot of Kevin's missing daughter was utterly irrelevant and completely misleading. Then there was the dishonest senior cop. Or was he? Then another local copper turned up with an axe to grind. With me so far because I'm not! It just seems to be a rewrite of. Then it was all about Scottish independence and how the terrible English government security services were interfering. Of course there were 2 characters who may or may not have been something important. To me, it's just a very poor rewrite of "Scotch on the Rocks".

I was so looking forward to this show. It had to be better than the Discovery which was just unbelievable. (Don't mention those Klingons!) Unfortunately, it isn't. I've not watched season 2 and probably won't as, so, far, there's not been one episode that has not been lifted, or adapted, from the original series. It must be the laziest script writing I have ever come across. The worst one was the desperate rewrite of the film "Alien" but using the Gorn as the protagonists. How on earth are we supposed to believe that the Gorn are a space faring race if that is all they can do. I'm a huge fan of Trek but this needs putting out of its misery.
