Featured review
This was a painful watch. Richard Rankin is great; watchable, funny but he's working with average material. I only managed one and a half episodes. Half the actors are just not very good. A lot of the casting choices are bizarre/don't fit.
As someone who grew up in Edinburgh a lot of the accents are 'off' or too anglicised. The guy that plays Rebus' old boss in a wheelchair was terrible.
It's just cliche after cliche...to the point that even post-taggart Taggart looks like Shakespeare in comparison. Most of the time I felt like I was watching a rubbish Scottish soap opera (Imagine 'Doctors' with crime)
Loved the books. John Hannah was superb as Rebus. Ken Stott was great too but this doesn't work. The 3 out of 10 is for Richard Rankin and the occasionally hilarious parts. But lack of chemistry, poor acting and cliche laden plots mean I'm giving up on this, sadly!
