I love British detective shows, and I get that most of them are dark, but this one is a black hole: it sucks any humanity into nonexistence. There is not one likable character:Bacchus is a jerk who goes into every situation with his mind made up. a terrible quality for a good detective. He bullies other cops and treats women like objects. I know understand the impetus for the 1960's women's movement. Inspector Gently isn't gentle, he's simply passive: he watches Bacchus' bullying and lecherous behavior and says next to nothing. I feel sorry for the 30 something actresses who are supposed to look into his 50 something world weary eyes and melt. i hope they get hazard pay.
score 1/10
