    Ah bugger I missed it. Will see if I can catch up on the player

    Edit: it;s available here if any of you are UK based:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p09jgnbv/the-watch-series-1-1-a-near-vimes-experience?seriesId=p09jgmpj

    My work laptop network traffic goes through the UK so it's useful for something!

    There has been no mention of whether this has been cancelled or not; it was shot back in October '19 but like a lot of shows got diddled by CoVid. A quick check of the ratings and it wasn't a smash hit by any stretch (on BBC America); its peak was for its first episode at 275k, the season ending at 130k. Not great at all (for comparison, Killing Even floated around the half a million mark consistently enough for its first 2 seasons. While you could see the point people jumped on in season 1 after the hype)

    All episodes of it are available on the player btw, would have thought there would be more of a buzz about it. Not a good sign

    By all accounts it changed so much of the original material, it killed fan goodwill from the get-go and was instantly on the back-foot. The reviews haven't been kind and sounds like even putting aside the more egregious alterations, wasn't that good anyway.

    I made it 14 minutes and that's more than enough. Not for me

    I would be frankly astonished if this get's a second season.

    I'm more than prepared for Simon Allen to use every excuse in the book as to why it failed, with the exception of his absolute butchering of the established story and characters. I strongly suspect that with time we're going to see quite a few of the cast of the show come forward and talk about how the show they appeared on is not what they signed up for and how much they hated it.
