Professor T

To start off, I have not seen the original series, so my views are not influenced by the fact that this is a remake.

On the whole, it's a very good series, very enjoyable, a good mix of drama, mystery and humour. For my money the first and fifth episode are the best of the series, two real highlights.

Clever stories, enough to get you using your little grey cells, Part one in particular is intriguing.

I loved the acting, Ben Miller is marvellous, he really brings The Professor to life, he's quirky, he's smart, and he's committed to getting the truth. Frances de la Tour is phenomenal as Jasper's mother, she's such a good actress, check out her scenes with Sophie in Part 5.

Let's hope a second series follows, we have a lot to learn, in particular what happened at the end of Episode six.

Well worth a watch, 8/10.

In Murder in Paradise Ben Miller was this quirky policeman with a big brain and no social finesse. Great show. In Professor T he repeat that performance. But now as an eccentric crime academic. With no social finesse and strange behavior. It works this time also. But I miss him in Murder. Better role. Emma Naomi is also really good. Well, I have seen the original Belgian Professor T. Its not better than the British cover but is a bit warmer. Hope for a new season.

Ben Miller is perfect for this part , the cast is very good they play well off each other . Scenery and photography are great . Hoe this continues for a few more seasons . So few shows worth watching these days.

This series is centred on Professor Jasper Tempest; a criminology lecturer at Cambridge. After a request from police officer, and former student Lisa Donkers, he starts helping the local constabulary with their investigations. He isn't easy to work with; he is obsessed with cleanliness and will say exactly what he thinks which makes him seem rude and insensitive.

I really enjoyed the Belgian original so went into this with some trepidation. It isn't bad but I must say I didn't enjoy it as much as the original. Since the cases are basically the same this might be considered redundant but not everybody likes subtitles and the stories, characters and cases feel right for a light ITV crime drama. The cast does a fine job; Ben Miller is fun in the lead role and Frances de la Tour impresses as his mother. The rest of the cast, playing more 'normal' characters are good too. The cases are interesting and should keep the viewer guessing to the end without being too convoluted. Overall I'd recommend watching the Belgian original but if it is unavailable where you are or you don't like subtitles this is a decent substitute. If more episodes are made I'll tune in.

I didn't see the Belgium original series and I'm glad for that, now I can enjoy the British take on it, without spoilers. It's a perfect cast, I love their acting and how they interpret the characters. The filming is superb and has a fantastic scene composition. Also has a good soundtrack, attention to set details and overall design. It gets better with each new episode, don't be discouraged by the simple crime plot of the first episode, keep watching and you will be rewarded. I can't wait for season 2. For me it's a solid 9, I think talent like this,both on filming and acting, must be recognized.
