always disappointing,not sure why.

I am from Edinburgh,I love crime/police dramas.
So why do I not like the Stott Rebus series much?
I watch them every so often and am always disappointed.
I am not gripped by any of the stories.
I am not saying the endings are difficult to guess,but I don't care much who did what in these stories.
Stott is a fine actor,love him in The Vice but he is unconvincing as Rebus.
I am in lockdown and watched the 10 Stott episodes over a few days.
The episodes are not well written.
Rebus is shown as a football fan and a a man who women find attractive.
I have read a few of the Rebus books and Rebus is not a football fan,in the books we can excuse his faults due to him being a great detective.
In this series every episode is similar,Rebus is rude to his assistant and his bosses and then solves the case.
I prefer the John Hannah series,bigger budget,better stories.

score 6/10
