Well, maybe so. IDK. The way I discovered the show (as I said above) made me really angry that it was yet another oh so wonderful British white guy solving mystery. I know there are people who like genre, who love British mysteries, I can understand that. It just made me really angry when I thought I was getting something new and it turned out to feel stereotypical, smug, and borderline racist. It may be that I just can't enjoy the usual British mysteries anymore because I just want some fucking variety and I'm not finding enough of it with the white guy heroes. (That said, I've seen some excellent mystery series from the British, mostly white guys, but sometime starring women. I don't think they're all awful, but I'm kind of fed up.)

I've watched (well, been in the room while my parents watched) more than enough mystery shows both British and American. I find it's an interesting dichotomy that British detective shows all seem to center around one old man or woman with a (usually) younger sidekick that they exposit to but doesn't really seem to be an equal, while the American shows all feature a duo of attractive young people who are much closer to equal (and almost always end up in bed together)
