The Last Detective

AudienceAudience: 7.6

An overlooked detective constable is routinely handed the cases nobody else wants. Despite mockery from colleagues and difficulties in his personal life, his decency, patience, and dogged determination help him uncover answers others miss, with a loyal friend providing support and comic relief.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you prefer gentle, character-driven British mysteries with understated humor and thoughtful investigations; Not for you if you want fast action, grim intensity, or relentlessly polished plotting.
