It was undemanding and a bit of a romp ... more Casanova (Tennant/O'Toole) than Ripper Street. The plot was totally, 100%, off-the shelf, written by the numbers and yet after about half an hour the writer was using dialogue to explain plot developments that I had worked out within the first 5 minutes. And that's saying something, because I normally try to switch off during these sorts of things so I can be enjoyably surprised even if it's a bit obvious.
Nevertheless it was well made, the characters were engaging and Peter Capaldi was really rather good. There's nothing else to do at 9pm on a Sunday so I will be following it for the time being at least.
